China-EU Climate Change Mechanism Set Up Go back »

2010-05-06 | All chapters

A ministerial-level dialogue mechanism on climate change has been set up between China and the European Union, a move analysts believe will help the United Nations climate summit to be held in Mexico in December bear fruit.

The two sides will hold talks regularly to strengthen collaboration and deepen understanding, according to a joint statement issued after China's climate change envoy Xie Zhenhua held talks with Connie Hedegaard, the EU commissioner for climate action, on April 29, 2010.

The two sides will also set up a hotline, the statement said.
