China's foreign minister said China and the European Union were partners and not rivals in a phone call with the French president's diplomatic adviser on Wednesday, China's state-run news agency Xinhua reported.
China and the EU hold the same or similar positions on issues such as promoting multipolarity in the world, and are capable of resolving trade disputes through dialogue, Wang Yi told France's Emmanuel Bonne, according to the report.
