		</div><p>European Union and Chinese leaders are kicking off a two-day summit in the shadow of global uncertainty over Britain&#8217;s exit from the bloc and pressure from companies for better access to China&#8217;s market.</p>
<p>EU leaders are expected to press their Chinese counterparts to step up their efforts to reduce overcapacity in sectors including steel following complaints that low-cost Chinese competition is putting European steelworkers&#8217; jobs at risk.</p>
<p>President Xi Jinping and premier Li Keqiang are meeting European Council president Donald Tusk and European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker in Beijing.</p>
<p>Also high on the agenda during the summit will be a push for progress on an investment agreement between the two sides, which, the EU says, will enable fair competition between Chinese and European companies.</p>
<p>Chinese officials say they want to sign an agreement quickly to benefit both sides and that foreign companies are welcome in their economy.</p>
<p>EU trade commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said the Comprehensive Agreement on Investment had to be concluded first before any negotiations could start on a free-trade agreement between China and the 28-nation EU.</p>
<p>Negotiations first started in January 2014.</p>
<p>Other topics are likely to include the situation in Syria and the resulting migrant crisis, possible new fields of defence and security co-operation in Africa and climate change.</p>
