Ditte Juul Jørgensen

Ditte Juul Jørgensen, in her role as Director-General for Trade at the European Commission, is a key figure in the European Union's engagement with China on trade matters. Recent news highlights her involvement in high-level discussions aimed at de-escalating trade tensions between the EU and China. Specifically, she was set to meet with China's top trade envoy, Li Chenggang, on the sidelines of an OECD meeting in Paris.
