China has canceled a planned visit to Beijing by European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell next week, a spokeswoman for the European Union said on Tuesday.
China gave no reasons for canceling the visit, a measure that comes at a time when Europe is seeking to reduce risks arising from its close economic relationship with China.
"Unfortunately, our Chinese counterparts informed us that the appointments that were scheduled for next week are no longer possible, and that we must now look for alternatives," EU spokeswoman Nabila Massrali said on Tuesday.
