Merkel plans major EU-China summit for 2020
By EUobserver
German chancellor Angela Merkel has proposed a EU-China summit during Germany's 2020 EU presidency, likely to coincide with China's displacement of the US as the EU's largest trade partner. Merkel communicated the idea to EU colleagues in December, according to Reuters. The summit would include national leaders of EU countries as well as officials from Brussels and Beijing.
