Foreign Minister Wang Yi will head to Europe next week for talks with counterparts from the European Union, Germany and France, Beijing said on Friday.

China and the European Union will also host a summit next month marking 50 years since Beijing and Brussels established diplomatic ties.

"The world is undergoing an accelerated evolution of a century-old change, with unilateralism, protectionism and bullying behaviour becoming rampant," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun said.

He added Wang will meet EU counterpart Kaja Kallas at the bloc's headquarters in Brussels for "high-level strategic dialogue".

In Germany, Wang will hold talks with Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on diplomacy and security – his first visit since Berlin's new conservative-led government took power in May.

China looks forward to "strengthening strategic communication, enhancing pragmatic cooperation, and promoting new developments of the China-Germany comprehensive strategic partnership," Guo said.

Ties between Berlin and Beijing, he added, were "injecting certainty, stability, and positive energy into a turbulent world".

In France, Wang will meet minister for Europe and foreign affairs Jean-Noel Barrot, who visited Beijing in March.

"Foreign Minister Wang Yi will exchange views with the French side on the international situation, China-France ties and China-Europe relations," Guo said.

And in Brussels Wang will also hold talks with Belgium's Prime Minister Bart De Wever and Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot, Beijing said. (AFP)
