Sound Sino-European ties are desired by the world, Chinese foreign ministry says

BEIJING, Feb 17 (Reuters) - The Chinese foreign ministry said on Monday that the international community wanted steady and sound Sino-EU relations now more than ever.

The international community is also eager for China and Europe to become a constructive force in a changing world, said Guo Jiakun, a ministry spokesperson, said at a regular news conference.

Guo was responding to a question on the significance of China's ties with Europe as transatlantic relations face new uncertainty after U.S. President Donald Trump took office last month.
