From June 30 to July 6, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is on a diplomatic sprint across Europe, starting with the 13th round of the China-EU High-level Strategic Dialogue in Brussels. This week-long tour will also take him to Berlin and Paris for pivotal talks on diplomacy, security and people-to-people exchanges.
In Brussels, Wang meets EU High Representative Kaja Kallas and engages with Belgium's Prime Minister Bart De Wever and Deputy Prime Minister Maxime Prevot. This 13th China-EU Dialogue covers trade trends, green technology partnerships and digital governance—key interests for young global citizens and tech enthusiasts exploring international markets.
Next on the roster is Germany, where Wang will co-chair the eighth China-Germany Strategic Dialogue on Diplomacy and Security alongside Federal Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul. With Germany at the heart of Europe's economy, discussions are set to address supply-chain resilience, AI ethics and joint research projects that resonate with entrepreneurs and innovators.
Wrapping up in Paris, Wang meets with France's Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Noel Barrot. They will convene under the China-France high-level dialogue mechanism on people-to-people exchanges, exploring cultural programs, sustainable tourism and educational links—topics that matter to travelers and changemakers alike.
As global headlines buzz about shifting alliances and digital transformation, Wang's tour highlights how strategic dialogues are evolving into platforms for youth-driven agendas: tech collaboration, climate action and immersive cultural exchanges. This diplomacy tour is more than protocol—it’s a bridge for the next generation.
