China and France Team Up to Boost Friendship and Trade!
Hey everyone! 🌟 Have you ever wondered how countries become friends and help each other out? Well, guess what? China and France are doing just that! They recently agreed to work together more closely to trade, invest, and tackle big global issues like climate change! 🌍💪
What’s Happening?
On Thursday, in the beautiful city of Paris, China and France held the 10th China-France High-Level Economic and Financial Dialogue. Sounds fancy, right? 😄 It was co-chaired by Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and French Minister of Economy, Finance, and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, Eric Lombard.
Working Together for a Better Future
Mr. He Lifeng shared China’s promise to keep working with France to make global trade more open and fair. This means countries can buy and sell things more easily, like toys, clothes, or yummy food! 🍜🧀
Mr. Eric Lombard said that France is super excited to team up with China. They want to promote free trade (that’s when countries trade without too many extra taxes or rules) and fight climate change together. How cool is that? ☀️🌳
New Agreements
The two countries signed agreements to work together on things like poultry meat (that’s chicken and other birds), breeding poultry, and hatching eggs. So, there might be even more delicious meals and better farming in the future! 🍗🥚
Learning from Each Other
During his visit, Mr. He Lifeng also visited French family farms. He met with people from French companies that make cosmetics, medicine, and airplanes. Maybe one day, you’ll fly in a plane or use a product that came from this friendship! ✈️💄
Why Is This Important?
France is China’s third-largest trading partner in Europe, and China is France’s biggest trading partner in Asia! That means they buy and sell a lot of things from each other. In 2022, the trade between the two countries reached a whopping $79.58 billion! That’s a lot of zeros! 💰💰💰
The Power of Friendship
This partnership shows how countries can come together to make the world a better place. By working together, they can solve big problems, share cool stuff, and make friends along the way. Maybe you can think about how you can work with others to make a difference too! 🤝😊
