2022-04-26
Current French President macron won the second round of the French presidential election held on the 24th local time, becoming the first French president to win re-election in 20 years. In the context of the changing international situation, macron's re-election is conducive to the continuity of France's foreign policy, the continuation of the positive, healthy and upward tone of China France relations, and the new development of China EU relations. It is expected that taking this opportunity, China France China EU cooperation will move steadily to a new level. China France friendship has a long history. France is the first Western power to formally establish diplomatic relations with China and the first Western power to establish a comprehensive strategic partnership and carry out strategic dialogue with China. Both countries pursue independent foreign policies and share the same or similar views on a series of major issues. Against the backdrop of tension and turbulence in the international situation, China and France communicated and coordinated on major issues in a timely manner, injecting more stability into the world situation. After the escalation of the current round of conflict between Russia and Ukraine, both China and France look forward to an early ceasefire and resumption of peace. China supports France's adherence to European Strategic Autonomy and appreciates that France does not agree with the group's political logic. During macron's first term of office, China France relations maintained a healthy and stable development momentum. In January 2018, macron visited China for the first time and became the first foreign head of state to visit China that year. In 2019, macron attended the second China International Import Expo. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Chinese and French peoples have been helping each other. China and France support each other in addressing climate change, biodiversity and other issues. France actively participated in the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games in Beijing, and publicly stated that it would not follow the "diplomatic boycott" of the United States against the Beijing Winter Olympics. Over the past five years, China and France have made a series of groundbreaking achievements in bilateral practical cooperation. Last year, the trade volume between China and France exceeded US $80 billion, a record high. Two way investment grew rapidly and agricultural cooperation achieved remarkable results. The total amount of agricultural products imported by China from France increased by 40% year-on-year. The two countries have also made significant achievements in cooperation in economy and trade, science and technology, agriculture, aviation, nuclear energy and other fields. Deepening cooperation and joint development is the common aspiration of China and France. It is hoped that during macron's second term of office, the main tone of China France relations will continue to be positive, healthy and upward. Based on the principles of mutual respect and equal treatment, the two sides will strengthen dialogue and exchanges at all levels, enhance mutual trust through dialogue and consultation, deepen cooperation in the spirit of mutual benefit and win-win results, and promote new achievements in China France cooperation. France is an important power in the EU, and its propositions and actions have an important impact on the future of Europe. In today's world, the century changing situation and the century epidemic are intertwined, regional security hotspots emerge one after another, and the theme of peace and development is facing severe challenges. The development and growth of Europe is conducive to the peace, stability and development of a multipolar world, as well as the strengthening of cooperation between China and the EU to jointly address a variety of global challenges. During his first term of office, macron advocated the EU's Strategic Autonomy and repeatedly expressed his willingness to actively promote EU China cooperation. It is expected that France will continue to play a constructive role in promoting the development of China EU relations during macron's second term of office. China has always maintained that China and the EU should uphold correct mutual understanding, adhere to mutual respect, dialogue and cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results, unite the greatest common denominator, and promote the new development of China EU relations. "Independence, mutual understanding, foresight, mutual benefit and win-win results" is the original intention of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. During macron's new term of office, if China, France and China EU can continue to strengthen dialogue, adhere to cooperation and jointly promote the stability and long-term development of China France and China EU relations, it will not only be conducive to the development of all parties, but also inject more stability and certainty into this turbulent and changing world.
