FM spokeswoman on EU Constitution Treaty

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said Tuesday that China believes a unified and integrated European Union (EU) will offer new opportunities for the further development of China-EU relations.

Zhang made the remarks in reply to a reporter's question on the signing of the first EU Constitution Treaty, at a regular news briefing.

She said that China noticed that 25 member states of the EU signed the EU Constitution Treaty last Friday, which is a new milestone in the process of the EU integration and of great significance to the EU development in future.

China always supports the EU integration process and is willing to see greater progress the EU will make in its political unification and its positive and constructive roles in European and international affairs, Zhang noted.
