Teamwork eyed for Paris pact

China hopes to work with France to help this year's United Nations Climate Change Conference come to a comprehensive, balanced and potent new agreement, State Councilor Yang Jiechi said in Beijing on Tuesday.

Yang made the remarks while attending the China-France Strategic Dialogue, which was attended by Chinese and French officials, including Jacques Audibert, diplomatic adviser to the French president.

China has prepared well for the Paris conference and as the largest developing country has shown a path to responsibility and cooperation that will set a global example, climate experts said.
