Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Monday met with French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Stephane Sejourne in Beijing.
Li said China-France relations have long been at the forefront of China’s relations with Western major countries, which not only benefits the two peoples but also has a profound impact on the world.
Li said this year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. China is willing to work with France to implement the important consensus of the two heads of state, strengthen exchanges at all levels, carry forward traditional friendship, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, enhance mutual understanding, unswervingly advance bilateral relations, leverage the stability of their relations to promote better development of the two countries, and inject more certainty into the development of the world through strengthening multilateral coordination.
Noting the economies of China and France are highly complementary, the premier said China has always regarded France as a priority partner, and is ready to tap the potential of cooperation in such fields as green energy, scientific and technological innovation, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and digital economy while deepening traditional cooperation to better achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
