Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized the need for China and France to strengthen collaboration as a stabilizing force in addressing global challenges during a high-profile meeting at the 61st Munich Security Conference. The discussion with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot highlighted shared priorities, including economic resilience, climate action, and multilateral diplomacy.
\"In an era of uncertainty, our partnership must uphold the international order and promote inclusive growth,\" said Wang, who also serves on the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee. The dialogue underscored France\u2019s role as a key EU partner for China in balancing geopolitical tensions while advancing green technology and digital infrastructure projects.
Analysts note the timing aligns with increasing Europe-Asia cooperation demands, particularly in renewable energy and AI governance. The meeting signals potential breakthroughs in cross-continental trade frameworks ahead of April\u2019s EU-China summit.
