China's firm supports to Europe won the trust of European people and also created more opportunities for China-EU cooperation. During the 15th meeting of China-EU leaders in September 2012, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said that the new China-EU relationship is incomparable with that of decades ago and it had made significant contribution to the dream of generations of people of building a peaceful and harmonious world.
