EU leaders will discuss the bloc's stance towards China and its future relations with the country during their next summit in June, EU Council President Charles Michel said on Monday.

"EU-China policy will be on the agenda of our European council in June," Michel said in a post on Twitter.

"Foreign affairs ministers will prepare this discussion under the leadership of the High representative Josep Borrell."

EU foreign affairs ministers, speaking before a joint meeting on Monday, expressed their dismay over recent remarks by China's ambassador to France, who questioned the sovereignty of former Soviet states such as Ukraine.
