Sixty years ago, Chairman Mao Zedong and General Charles de Gaulle made a historic decision that would shape the future of Sino-French relations. This bold move opened the door to exchanges and cooperation between China and the West, setting the stage for decades of partnership and growth.
Fast forward to today, China and France continue to stand at the forefront of China’s relations with Western nations. In a world where anti-globalization sentiments and right-wing populist movements are on the rise, maintaining the original spirit of bravery and wisdom in Sino-French relations is more crucial than ever. 🌍💪
With Chinese President Xi Jinping about to commence his state visit to France, perspectives on this enduring relationship are being re-examined. CGTN's Xu Qinduo engages with Chinese and French scholars and entrepreneurs to delve into the achievements and challenges that lie ahead for China-France ties.
From economic collaboration to cultural exchanges, the partnership between China and France exemplifies how nations can bridge differences and work together in an increasingly interconnected world. As these leaders chart the course for the next chapter, the resilience and adaptability that have defined Sino-French relations over the past six decades will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping future cooperation. ✨🤝
