Preview and reports of a tour of European capitals by Wen Jiabao, China’s Prime Minister, January 2009 that explored ways to involve China in efforts to tackle the world’s economic crisis. Beijing described Mr Wen’s trip as a 'tour of confidence', hoped it would help dispel some of the questions about the impact of the crisis on China’s rapidly slowing economy. There were also hopes that it would boost relations damaged by the cancellation of a EU-China summit in December 2008.
