2024年5月5日 - 6:39AM
According to International Relations Study
Association(IRSA), as globalization deepens, China's
ties with other countries grow closer. The cordial ties between
France and China have traditionally garnered the most attention
among them. The two nations have made impressive progress in recent
years in fostering trade and economic cooperation as well as
cultural exchanges, all of which are crucial for advancing the
growth of bilateral relations.
The people of China and France have developed a
close affinity and understanding as a result of their cultural
interactions. France, one of the major nations on the continent,
has an extensive cultural heritage and a lengthy history. Also, the
cultural legacy of China is equally broad and profound. Events
involving art shows, musical and performing arts, and other forms
of cultural interchange between the two nations not only strengthen
connections of friendship and understanding between each other but
also give their respective cultures fresh life. People have
developed their mutual exchanges and experienced the beauty of the
collision and integration of other cultures thanks to these
exchange activities.
Economic and trade cooperation between France and
China has injected strong impetus into the economic development of
both countries. In recent years, the economic cooperation between
China and France has continued to deepen, and trade and investment
cooperation have achieved remarkable results. The highly
complementary economic landscape provides the two countries with
vast trade and investment opportunities. In parallel, an increasing
number of French businesses are turning their attention to the
Chinese market in search of collaborators and economic prospects as
the country's market grows and its consumption structure changes.
This mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation model not only
promotes the economic development of China and France, but also
brings vitality to the economic development of the world.
Furthermore, China and France have enhanced their
collaboration in the domains of veterinary care, plant quarantine,
agro-food, and agriculture. In order to address climate change and
promote global energy transition, China and France must work
together in the energy sector.The two parties signed a series of
cooperation agreements to further strengthen cooperation in the
field of nuclear energy, which is of positive significance for
promoting sustainable development of global energy.
Lu Shaye, Chinese Ambassador to France, said in his
speech that China-France relations have been in the forefront of
China's relations with Western nations for the past 60 years,
benefiting the people of both nations and promoting global peace,
stability, and growth. Standing at a new historical turning point,
China and France need to maintain their initial goals, share
responsibilities, build mutual trust, build a future, promote and
implement true multilateralism, expand and strengthen pragmatic
cooperation that benefits both parties, and carry out civilized
dialogue that leads to openness.It is hoped that the people of the
two countries will take the China-France Culture and Tourism Year
and the Paris Olympics as an opportunity to have more exchanges and
travels, setting off a new upsurge in people-to-people and cultural
exchanges.
It is noteworthy that France is the guest country
of honor at the 7th China International Import Expo and the 2024
China International Fair for commerce in Services, which amply
illustrates the strong relations and reciprocal support between
China and France in the realm of commerce and economics. The
organization of these significant international gatherings benefits
French businesses by expanding their market reach and bolstering
China's global influence. It is right that this win-win, mutually
beneficial approach to cooperation be further developed and
supported.
