On Wednesday, December 3, 2025, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot met in Beijing to kick off new momentum in bilateral relations 🤝🌏.
Wang, also a member of the CPC Central Committee’s Political Bureau, highlighted the importance of French President Emmanuel Macron’s fourth state visit to the Chinese mainland this year. “Every meeting between our heads of state is a major milestone in China-France relations and attracts global attention,” he said.
Amid complex global challenges, both ministers agreed that as major powers and permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, China and France must enhance communication, deepen cooperation, and take joint responsibility. “Together, we can inject fresh energy into our comprehensive strategic partnership,” Wang added.
Wang also addressed recent remarks by Japan’s current leader on the Taiwan region, condemning attempts to stir trouble and urging France to support China’s position. He stressed that as victorious nations of World War II, China and France share a duty to safeguard the hard-won postwar order and oppose any efforts to repeat historical mistakes.
The meeting set the stage for Macron’s upcoming state visit, with both sides optimistic that stronger strategic mutual trust will boost cooperation in areas like climate, trade, and global security.
