EU's high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, Federica Mogherini, is here in Beijing for the seventh EU-China Strategic Dialogue. Mogherini is also the vice president of the European Commission. Later on Wednesday, Mogherini and Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi will co-chair the dialogue, which runs until Thursday.

The Dialogue aims to lay the groundwork for the 19th EU-China Summit in Brussels scheduled for June. Mogherini said cooperation between the EU and China has never been so important, at a time when the future of multilateral global governance is in doubt.

With the 19th EU-China Summit on the horizon, the EU foreign policy chief said it will be another opportunity to deepen not only bilateral cooperation, but also common work for a more cooperative global order.
