Hey there! Did you know that China and France are teaming up to help make the world a better place? Let’s find out what happened!
A Special Meeting
China’s top diplomat, Wang Yi, met with France’s Foreign Minister, Jean-Noel Barrot, at a big event called the Munich Security Conference. They talked about how their countries can work together to help the world.
Working Together
Both China and France are important countries. Wang Yi said that when they work together, they can do great things not just for themselves but for the whole world! He suggested that they should:
- Be Independent: Make their own decisions and not just follow others.
- Cooperate Openly: Work together in a way that helps both sides win.
Solving Problems
There have been some trade disagreements between China and the European Union (EU). But Wang Yi is hopeful! He believes that they can solve these problems by talking and understanding each other’s concerns.
Friends Appreciate Friends
Jean-Noel Barrot thanked China for supporting working together with many countries (that’s called multilateralism!). He said that France values China’s role in making the world more stable.
He also mentioned that France:
- Supports the one-China policy.
- Wants to have more high-level meetings with China.
- Hopes to make economic and trade relations even stronger.
- Wants to fight against protectionism (that’s when countries try to protect their own businesses by making it harder for others to trade with them).
Tackling Big Issues Together
They also talked about important topics like:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): How to use smart technologies responsibly.
- Climate Change: Working together to protect our planet.
- Maritime Cooperation: Keeping oceans safe and clean.
They agreed to team up to face global challenges and make the world a better place.
Peace and Stability
They discussed ways to bring peace to places like Ukraine and the Gaza region. They hope to support peace talks and help these areas find long-lasting peace.
