Europe Day held on 9 May every year celebrates peace and unity in Europe. The date marks the anniversary of the historic 'Schuman declaration'. At a speech in Paris in 1950, Robert Schuman, the then French foreign minister, set out his idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between Europe's nations unthinkable. To celebrate the 71st anniversary of this important event, the Shanghai Chapter of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, with the support of the Consulates General of the Member States of the European Union in Shanghai will host its annual Europe Day Reception at The Langham Xintiandi Shanghai.
Join us for this important occasion to celebrate with European Chamber Members, representatives of EU Member States Consulates General and friends. The celebration will follow the Annual General Meeting of the Shanghai Chapter at which the Shanghai Board for 2021-2023 will be elected and you will have the opportunity to meet the newly elected Board members.
