EU has been China’s biggest trading partner and China has been EU’s second largest trading partner during the past consecutive years. China is the fastest growing country in the aviation and aeronautical industries, while EU has the most advanced aeronautical technology in the world.

       The Airbus Tianjin project is the best example to demonstrate the success of EU – China cooperation in the aeronautic industries: it has created the growth of the employment, safety, sustainability and profitability for both sides. We have the pleasure to have Mr. Albert VARENNE, Head of Regional Sourcing Office China & East Asia of Airbus and the Chair of Aviation and Aerospace Working Group to share with us the Airbus experience in China to understand how business can benefit from EU- China Win-Win  Aeronautical Cooperation.
