On 21 September, MEPs of the Foreign Affairs Committee will hold a debate with Zhang Ming, Head of the Chinese Mission to the EU.
The ongoing negotiations to conclude a long-standing investment deal between the EU and China, disinformation, the situation in Hong Kong, human rights, climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to be some of the issues raised by MEPs in the upcoming discussions with China's EU ambassador Zhang Ming, who will be present at the committee meeting.
The debate will kick off on Monday, 21 September, at 17.00 CET.
The debate comes after the virtual meeting that European Council President Charles Michel, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and German Chancellor Angela Merkel held with Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier this week, on 14 September.
