Macron's visit set to enhance relations

French President Emmanuel Macron's upcoming state visit to China is expected to map out a blueprint for bilateral cooperation in various fields and bring the China-France comprehensive strategic partnership to a greater height, the Foreign Ministry said on Friday.

Geng Shuang, the ministry's spokesman, expressed high hopes for the visit when asked at a daily news conference about details of the Monday-to-Wednesday trip.

President Xi Jinping will hold events for the French president during Macron's first China visit since assuming office, and Premier Li Keqiang and top legislator Zhang Dejiang will also meet with Macron, according to Geng.
