In the hearts of the Chinese people, France has a unique charm. This land once gave birth to numerous philosophers, writers, and artists with global influence, providing intellectual inspiration for all humanity. More than 150 years ago, French people participated in the construction of China's Fujian Shipbuilding Administration and Fujian Shipbuilding Academy, and France was the first to accept Chinese students sent by the public to study in France; A hundred years ago, Chinese youth went to France to study, and some ambitious young people later made outstanding contributions to the establishment and development of New China. France was the first major Western country to formally establish diplomatic relations with New China. 2024 is a milestone with special significance. I am now in France, bringing three pieces of information from China. ——The Chinese side is willing to inherit the spirit of establishing diplomatic relations with the French side, and promote the continuity and opening up of China France relations. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. 60 years ago, General Charles de Gaulle decided to establish diplomatic relations with New China from a strategic perspective of the times. Against the backdrop of the raging Cold War, making this independent and autonomous decision was extremely difficult, and it has been proven to be correct and visionary. The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France has built a bridge for communication between the East and the West, and also promoted the evolution of international relations towards dialogue and cooperation. For the past 60 years, China France relations have always kept up with the times. In the relationship between China and Western countries, the two countries have taken the lead in establishing a comprehensive strategic partnership and initiating institutional strategic dialogue; Take the lead in carrying out cooperation in aviation, nuclear energy, third-party markets, etc; Take the lead in establishing cultural centers and hosting cultural years for each other, and play a leading role in promoting mutual learning among global civilizations. The cooperation between the two countries has facilitated the Paris Agreement on climate change and the Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, effectively advancing the global climate agenda. History is the best teacher. The world today is very restless and once again faces numerous risks. China is willing to work with France to promote the spirit of establishing diplomatic relations, promote the continuous development of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and France, and make new contributions to strengthening cooperation around the world. ——China will expand high-level opening up and deepen cooperation with countries around the world, including France. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Over the past 75 years, relying on the hard work and struggle of the entire Chinese people, China has developed from poverty to the world's second largest economy, with hundreds of millions of rural impoverished people lifted out of poverty, creating a miracle in the history of human development. In 2023, China's economy will grow by 5.2%, and the target for 2024 is around 5%, with higher quality development. China will continue to provide impetus for global growth and bring opportunities to countries around the world. An important experience of China's development is to unwaveringly adhere to opening up to the outside world. We welcome more high-quality French agricultural products and cosmetics to enter the Chinese market to meet the growing needs of the Chinese people for a better life. We welcome companies from all over the world, including France, to invest and develop in China. We have fully opened up access to the manufacturing industry and will accelerate the relaxation of telecommunications and healthcare
