Speech by Ambassador Abou at Beginning of German EU PresidencyOn the occasion of the start of the German Presidency of the European Union, Ambassador Serge Abou, Head of the European Union Delegation in China, gave a speech at the German Embassy.
Ambassador Abou gave a brief speech about his meetings with German Chancellor Merkel and Ms. Benita Ferrero-Waldner, EU Commissioner for External Relations and he also talked about the campaign titled “We are Chinese companies, too”. This campaign, initiated by the EU Embassies in China, aims to present the achievements of European companies in China and the contributions that the European companies make to the Chinese economy. These factors justify the call for European companies to be welcomed to China as well as to be treated on an equal footing with wholly Chinese-invested domestic companies.
