Luigi Gambardella, President of ChinaEU subsequently provided an overview of the current ICT market and cybersecurity situation in Europe with a focus on 5G environment. He advocated a coordinated approach across the member states, as well as a closer relationship with Chinese partners. Seeing cyber security as a priority area to enhance China-EU digital cooperation, Gambardella proposed to associate China into the next-phase work of the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA)–the EU agency for cyber security, whose mandate will lapse in June 2020.
