China-Europe relations draw stability from shared interests and certainty from mutually beneficial partnerships, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.

For China-Europe ties to stay steady and sound, it is crucial for Europe to have a correct perception of China, Wang added, speaking at a press conference on the sidelines of the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress in Beijing. 

Interdependence is not a risk, intertwined interests are not threats, and openness and cooperation will not harm economic security, but building walls and barriers will only lead to self-isolation, Wang stressed.

"We are glad to see European friends stepping out of the 'small attic' of protectionism and walking into the 'fitness club' of the Chinese market to build their strength and competitiveness," he said.
