Location: 3rd Floor (.) Venue: European Policy Centre-EPC

The European Policy Centre (EPC) is pleased to invite you to this in-person Policy Dialogue on Tuesday 18 June, from 9.30 to 10.30 CEST.

Standing at a pivotal crossroads, the EU faces the critical task of reassessing its increasingly complex relationship with China. Shifting global alliances and escalating global crises, such as Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the war in Gaza, have strained EU-China relations. Additionally, the gradual shift away from global economic interdependence towards economic security has cast concerns over the future of the bilateral trade.

As the EU & China Think Tank Exchanges draw to a conclusion, this policy dialogue is an opportunity to take stock of the key aspects of the bilateral relations and discuss their state of play and prospects in light of the results of the European elections.

Participation is open to EPC members only, the media, and EU officials.

Europe in the World

The Europe in the World (EiW) Programme scrutinises the impact of a changing international system on Europe and probes how the EU and its member states can advance their interests and values on a regional and global level. It examines the EU’s relations with both major and middle powers around the world, and how Europe can continue to contribute to a rules-based global order. Secondly, the Programme focuses on the role of the EU in fostering reform, resilience and stability in neighbouring regions and looks closely at developments in Turkey and Ukraine, among other countries. Thirdly, the Programme examines and seeks to advance the development of Europe’s security and defence policy.
