President Wuttke Attended the Symposium with Premier Li Keqiang on the 70th Anniversary of CCPIT

On 19th May, European Chamber President Joerg Wuttke was invited to attend the Symposium with Premier Li Keqiang of the State Council on the 70th Anniversary of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) held at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing.

President Wuttke advocated on behalf of the European Chamber’s 1,800 member companies for faster and deeper market reforms. He also noted that the challenge of climate change is an opportunity for Europe and China to engage in long-term collaboration at the company, organisational and institutional levels, to help China frontload in the technologies it requires to meet its 2060 carbon neutrality goal.

President Wuttke also provided the Chamber’s recommendations for a possible exit strategy from the present COVID-19 challenge.

President Wuttke presented Premier Li with the Chamber’s flash survey on the impact that COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine is having on European business, as well as the forthcoming carbon neutrality report.
