Chinese Ambassador to Sweden Gives Interview to NewsVoice

On May 7, 2025, Cui Aimin (崔愛民), China’s ambassador to Sweden, gave an interview with Stockholm-based online outlet NewsVoice, which published the transcript on June 2. Marking the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties, Cui promoted a broad vision of China-Sweden cooperation spanning trade, green technology, and people-to-people exchanges, portraying China as a stable and forward-looking partner. He criticized US tariff policies, calling both China and the EU “victims” of Washington’s violation of “economic rules and market principles,” and urged Sweden to join the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Xi Jinping’s signature economic development and infrastructure program abroad, which he called “one of the most widely welcomed global public goods.” Cui also praised the intergovernmental organization BRICS as a vehicle for Global South cooperation. Notably, NewsVoice joined the TV BRICS International Media Network in March 2025.
