Ambassador Liu Xiaoming Delivers A Keynote Speech and Answers Questions at the Webinar with UK Think Tanks On China-Europe Relations
Martine Doyon from Goldman Sachs: Thank you very much and good morning Ambassador. The question I have for you is what are the prospects and the practical steps for cooperation between China and Europe on climate change, pandemic preparedness and developing country's debt forgiveness.
Ambassador Liu: China is very committed to the Paris Agreement on climate change. This year was supposed to be the year of environmental protection for China and the UK. As you know, China was due to host COP15 and UK is the host for COP26. But because of the pandemic, we both postponed these two conferences. China is working very closely with the UK online now. I just had a conversation with UK's COP26 Regional Ambassador Sir Laurie Bristow, and we want to work together to make it a new highlight, not only for China-UK relations. I think China and UK can provide leadership in climate change, and we both want to work together to make the two conferences great success.
