China is willing to work with the European countries, including France, to safeguard the international rules based on the UN Charter, safeguard multilateralism and free trade system, and deal with global issues such as climate change, Li said.

Li expressed his hope that France, as an important member of EU, will continue its constructive role in the development of China-EU ties.

Philippe said France is willing to work with China to enhance political trust, deepen pragmatic cooperation, deal with the uncertain issues in the current world situation, safeguard multilateralism and free trade system, oppose protectionism and unilateralism.

Philippe called on both sides to cooperate more in industry, economy, civilian nuclear energy, aerospace and people-to-people exchanges.

Prior to the talks, Li held a welcoming ceremony for Philippe.

After the talks, they jointly witnessed the signing of documents concerning bilateral cooperation in energy, technology, agricultural food and health care.

They also met the press on Monday afternoon, and both sides spoke highly of their pragmatic cooperation results.

China does not pursue a trade surplus, Li said, noting that economic and trade exchanges should mainly be completed by enterprises in line with market rules and business principles.
