China, Japan, EU to Save Multilateralism: China Daily

China is working with the EU and Japan to save multilateralism, the official English-language China Daily said in a commentary on Friday. Both China and the EU recognized the progress in the bilateral investment agreement negotiations, particularly on the issue of fair competition, and promised to continuously strengthen supervision and accelerate discussions on the remaining issues to complete the negotiations within the year. China and Japan both displayed a keen interest in pushing the signing of RCEP, which will eliminate trade barriers between member countries and promote new labour and supply chains between China and ASEAN, the Daily said.
