Relationship that inherits the past, creates the future

President Xi Jinping's state visit to France has injected fresh vitality into bilateral ties. The two countries' pledge to build a more solid, stable and vibrant China-France partnership will not only bring real benefits to the two peoples but also contribute to the healthy and upward interaction between China and the European Union.

During their talks on Monday, Xi and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron vowed to carry forward the two countries' comprehensive strategic partnership at a new starting point in history. The two leaders also witnessed the signing of a slew of cooperative agreements and multi-billion dollar business deals between the two countries.

Apart from the eye-catching deal in which China will purchase 300 aircraft from Airbus, the two countries also agreed to deepen cooperation in a wide range of fields including renewable energy, transportation, agriculture, finance, culture, and science and technology.
