Yuan likely to come up at Sino-EU summit

The European Union (EU) is very likely to pressure China on currency appreciation at the upcoming Sino-EU summit in Brussels.

The EU hinted in a document released at the end of a one-day summit on Thursday that currency policy was high on the list of strategic interests the EU planned to pursue when Chinese and EU leaders meet in October.

"In view of the EU-China summit in particular, the European Union should actively pursue its strategic interests, (including) the dialogue on exchange rate policies," the document said.
