Six decades ago, China and France officially established diplomatic ties, marking the beginning of a partnership rooted in mutual respect and a shared vision for peace. Over the past 60 years, despite facing differences and numerous challenges, the people of China and France have collaboratively worked towards achieving common goals that benefit both nations and contribute to global stability.
Former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin believes that the enduring bond between the two countries is driven by a profound commitment to peace. “It is the love for peace that brings us together,” Raffarin stated. His role as a cultural ferryman highlights the importance of fostering deeper understanding and connections between the two nations.
Raffarin hopes that more young people from China and France will embrace the opportunity to venture across the \\"other side\\", immersing themselves in each other’s cultures and building lasting relationships. This new generation of global citizens has the potential to further strengthen Sino-French relations and continue the legacy of peace and cooperation that has defined the past six decades.
