Diplomacy and people-to-people exchanges can play a big role in securing global stability amid geopolitical and trade tensions, said former Irish prime minister Bertie Ahern.
Responding to a question about the European Commission's additional tariffs on made-in-China electric vehicles, the former Irish prime minister, who was in office from 1997 to 2008, said: "I know that at times it is a bit difficult, but I think it's important that people keep talking, keep diplomacy, keep working, keep explaining each other's positions, and hopefully that (China-Europe relations) can be enhanced and can grow."
