The intervention logic for this component is that data-driven analysis will underpin robust engagement on global development challenges to promote core EU interests and values, notably related to delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda."}, {"bbox": [85, 361, 1145, 602], "category": "Text", "text": "The high quality evidence base will allow for targeted and effective engagement with Chinese counterparts. Exchanges of information and best practices at technical level will provide a platform for knowledge sharing on issues of common interest and enhance understanding of international development modalities in line with EU interests and standards. They will also enable the EU to promote its own inclusive and value-based approaches on sustainable development to Chinese stakeholders and opinion leaders. Promoting the EU and its Member States in China as the world's largest and most influential development actor will further understanding of relevant EU policies and positions and the EU's role in delivering on key international commitments (e.g. UN 2030 agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals, Paris Agreement), and encourage Chinese counterparts to consider EU policies and positions when engaging with global development issues."}, {"bbox": [1028, 1682, 1144, 1706], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 15 of 26"}]
