The European Union and China agreed to convene a summit, European Council chief Charles Michel said after speaking with Chinese President Xi Jinping, as the two sides aim to repair relations after a deep rift over alleged human rights abuses in Xinjiang.
Michel didn’t announce a date, but said in a tweet that China and the EU need to keep talking because “despite differences, dialogue remains crucial.”
