During a significant state visit, Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Paris, emphasizing the robust relationship between China and France, which he described as a "model for peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation" in the international arena. This visit marks an important step in diplomatic relations and is President Xi's first visit to the region in five years.
French President Emmanuel Macron is prepared to engage in discussions focusing on trade imbalances and economic cooperation, reflecting a mutual interest in strengthening economic ties. This dialogue is timely, as France supports a European Union inquiry into the surge of Chinese electric vehicle exports, while China has recently initiated a probe into imports of French brandy.
President Macron, in a pre-visit statement to La Tribune, expressed a desire for balanced trade relations and the inclusion of France’s economic security in these discussions. The leaders are scheduled to meet along with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to further discuss these trade issues.
The visit also includes a formal welcome by French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, underlining the diplomatic courtesies extended by France to its important international partners.
