He underlined that China–EU cooperation has vast potential, with China’s openness and dynamism offering European businesses new opportunities for growth. In his welcoming remarks, CCCEU Chairman and Chairman of Bank of China (Europe) Liu Jiandong pointed to significant synergies in clean energy, the circular economy, artificial intelligence, and smart manufacturing as both sides strive for a greener and more digital future. Cooperation and dialogue among industry, chambers of commerce, and stakeholders, he argued, will unleash vast potential for joint innovation and sustainable development. Former Portuguese Minister of Labour Maria João Rodrigues and Liu Yu, Minister Counsellor of the Chinese Mission to the EU, also addressed the forum.
