The year 2010 saw a complete return to normal of China-Europe relations. The 35th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations between the two sides and the Shanghai World Expo acted as promoters to the positive development of China-Europe relations. A new historical record has been created in the bilateral trade，verifying the recovery of both Chinese and European economies after the crisis，and thus guaranteeing the further healthy development of China-EU economic relations. However，the steady progress of the bilateral relations is still confronted with a number of challenges，especially with regard to strategic mutual trust and in-depth cooperation awaiting further promotion. It is in line with the interests of both China and Europe to improve and strengthen bilateral relations，which need concerted efforts from both sides.
