Economic cooperation takes center stage at Europe Forum 2024

Gwenn Sonck, executive director of the EU Chamber of Commerce in China, stressed the indispensable trade and investment relationship between the EU and China, advocating for transformational leadership that embraces adaptability and visionary thinking.

"In challenging times, transformative leaders have the power to turn obstacles into opportunities," Sonck said. "European and Chinese CEOs must understand each other's business environments and we encourage businesses to meet in person and exchange in an open and direct dialogue. Such exchanges will help bridge cultural gaps and pave the way for sustainable partnerships."
