’This book is very timely... it provides important insights for bilateral cooperation and international negotiations. These lessons go beyond EU - China and EU - Vietnam relations. Many of them are applicable to other countries in Asia, a region which will remain a key priority for EU foreign and climate policy, not in the least as the EU's largest trading partner.’- From the foreword by Jos Delbeke, Director General, EC DG Climate Action
