On June 9, local time, Vice President Han Zheng met with French President Emmanuel Macron while attending the 3rd UN Ocean Conference in Nice, France. Han Zheng conveyed President Xi Jinping's greetings to President Macron, saying that President Xi Jinping spoke with the President on the phone last month and had in-depth exchanges and reached important consensus on issues of common concern to both sides, such as strengthening Sino-French solidarity and cooperation, maintaining multilateralism, and promoting world peace and stability. My visit to France to attend the UN Ocean Conference is to implement the important consensus of the heads of state of the two countries, show support for the UN and France's conference, and push forward the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. China supports France's adherence to strategic autonomy and is willing to strengthen bilateral and multilateral strategic communication and cooperation with France to inject new impetus into the development of Sino-French relations. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Europe. In the current complex international situation, the strengthening of cooperation between China and Europe is a good thing for both parties and the world. China is ready to further expand areas of cooperation with Europe and promote new developments in Sino-European relations. Macron thanked Han Zheng for attending the UN Ocean Conference and asked Han Zheng to convey his best wishes to President Xi Jinping. Macron said that France sees China as a long-term reliable partner. The current international situation is full of challenges and difficulties. Close high-level contacts and strengthened communication and cooperation between France and China as two major powers are essential to maintaining world peace and security. The French side welcomes Chinese enterprises to invest and develop businesses in France, and is willing to cooperate closely with China, strengthen communication and coordination on international economic and financial policies, work together to address global challenges such as climate change and biodiversity protection, maintain multilateralism, and be two major constructive forces in a turbulent world, and add more certainty to the world.
