European Council President Charles Michel said on Friday that the European Union and China would hold a summit soon, after a call with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
"On EU-China relations, despite differences, dialogue remains crucial," Michel, who chairs EU summits, said on Twitter. "Agreed to hold EU-China summit and reinforce our dialogue," he wrote, without giving a date.
An EU official said: "During the call, the Presidents confirmed the intention to hold the next EU-China summit. They will also explore a meeting with all members of the European Council at a later stage."
