Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta are a driving force of the Chinese economy and a major hub for European business in China. The resilience of the region during the crisis as well as the measures taken by the local governments to speed up the economic recovery are factors that will strengthen the confidence of foreign businesses in the region. On the other hand the crisis also showed the need for stronger coordination and dialogue at political level between the EU and China.

On the occasion of the 70^th anniversary of the founding of the European Union and 45^th anniversary of EU-China relations, the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, Shanghai Chapter in cooperation with EU Member States Diplomatic Missions in Shanghai are delighted to welcome H.E. Nicolas Chapuis, Ambassador of the European Union to China to discuss the actions that Europe and China are taking to tackle the global economic crisis triggered by the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as to look ahead at EU-China relations after the crisis. He will be joined by Dr Christine Althauser, Consul General of Germany in Shanghai as representative of the presidency of the EU Council during the second half of 2020 as well as EU Member States Consuls General from different regions of Europe.
