In fresh vibes at Beijing's Great Hall on Thursday, Zhao Leji, chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee, sat down with French President Emmanuel Macron. The chat? All about supercharging China-France ties! 🤝✈️
Zhao kicked things off by highlighting the big-picture consensus hammered out by President Xi Jinping and Macron during their last call. He emphasized that Beijing is keen to ramp up mutual cooperation across the board—whether that's in tech innovation, trade, or even the next blockbuster Bollywood-Baguette cultural mashup. From boosting legislative know-how (NPC and French parliament vibes sharing) to stitching tighter people-to-people bonds, Zhao wants a full-on partnership.
On the other side, Macron didn't hold back his thumbs-up: he's impressed by China's recent leaps in areas like economy and tech (yes, those AI breakthroughs and electric vehicle booms!). France is all in for more hands-on projects, co-hosting startup hackathons, and tackling global issues side by side—think climate change, pandemic preparedness, and more.
With both sides pledging candid dialogue and real-deal action plans, expect a wave of student exchanges, joint science labs, and even fashion collabs hitting the runway soon. As Zhao summed up: 'Let's turn our shared vision into reality and drive stable, positive growth for our nations.' 🌏💡
For the mobile-first generation, this means more opportunities to study, work, and innovate across continents. Stay tuned—China-France 2.0 is loading! 🚀
