Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau said on Tuesday the European Union needs to consult the United States before finalizing its investment deal with China.
"Europe should seek a fair, mutually beneficial Comprehensive Agreement on Investment with China. We need more consultations and transparency bringing our transatlantic allies on board. A good, balanced deal is better than a premature one," Rau wrote on Twitter.
Earlier in the day, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that China and the EU are close to finalizing their investment agreement.
