Good to speak to
@NOIweala
.
I welcome her announcement to seek reappointment for a second term as
@WTO
DG.
Her continued strong leadership would be important to preserve the rules-based international trading system and to prepare for the 14th WTO Ministerial Conference.
Constructive meeting with 🇨🇳Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao.
Both sides agreed to intensify efforts to find an effective, enforceable and WTO compatible solution to the BEV case.
This without prejudice to the EU investigation and its deadlines.
One important part of the mission letter reads: "You should also continue to ensure Europe leads and improve rules-based trade, notably through a reformed and strengthened World Trade Organization."
Thank you,
@EU_Commission
President
@vonderleyen

Every member of my team will bring in their own experience and perspectives on Europe.
Together, we will be one team, working towards one common goal.
To make Europe stronger.
