The 20th meeting of the EU-China Civil Society Round Table will take place in Madrid, Spain on 9 and 10 June 2025.

The delegations of the EESC and its Chinese counterpart, the CESC, will discuss the following topics:

  • The EU's Global Gateway Strategy and China's Belt and Road Initiative: bridging global investment and connectivity gaps
  • Strengthening EU-China cooperation for climate action and finance at COP30

The EU-China Civil Society Round Table was established in 2007 following a decision taken by the 9th EU-China Summit in Helsinki. The delegations from the EESC and its Chinese counterpart, the China Economic and Social Council, meet regularly to discuss topics relating to economic and social issues relevant to both parties.

By elaborating reports, discussing them and exchanging ideas, the representatives of the European Economic and Social Committee and the China Economic and Social Council contribute to the development of the overall EU-China relationship, from a civil society perspective.
