Upon his arrival in Paris, President Xi said, “I hope this visit will help cement our long-standing friendship, enhance political trust, build strategic consensus and deepen exchanges and cooperation in various fields.” He added that the development of Sino-French relations did not just benefit both peoples, but it also promoted stability and positive energy in an ever-turbulent world.
