(Central News Agency, Taipei, 9th) Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with French Presidential Foreign Policy Advisor Bernal in Beijing on the 8th and said that China and France need to strengthen strategic communication and carry out strategic coordination to jointly respond to global challenges; Bernard said that France is willing to play an active role in promoting EU-China dialogue and cooperation. The official website of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday disclosed the contents of the meeting between Wang Yi and Emmanuel Bonne. Wang Yi said that French President Emmanuel Macron visited China last year, and the strategic guidance of the two heads of state reflected the high level and specialness of bilateral relations. China is willing to work with France to make greater progress in bilateral cooperation and bring more benefits to the two peoples. Wang Yi also said that today’s world is full of chaos. As permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and independent major countries, China and France bear important responsibilities for maintaining international peace, stability and development. It is necessary for both sides to strengthen strategic communication, carry out strategic coordination, jointly respond to global challenges, promote the China-France comprehensive strategic partnership to eliminate all kinds of interference, and achieve healthy and stable development. Wang Yi also reiterated that the basis of China-France relations is solid political mutual trust, and the key is mutual respect for each other’s core interests. “We hope that France will abide by the one-China principle with practical actions, refrain from any form of official exchanges with the Taiwan authorities, and not send any wrong signals to the ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist forces.” According to the official website of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bernard said, “France fully understands the importance and sensitivity of the Taiwan issue, adheres to the one-China policy, and will not make any changes in its policy on this issue.” Bernard also pointed out that France looks forward to working closely with China to jointly find constructive solutions to the global crisis. “Under the current international situation, it is crucial for Europe and China to maintain dialogue and cooperation. The EU needs China and hopes to be a trustworthy partner with China. France is willing to play an active role in promoting dialogue and cooperation between Europe and China.” When Wang Yi had a phone call with Bernard at request in January this year, he said that the international situation has undergone new and major changes, which can be said to be chaotic. As independent major countries, China and France should strengthen communication and coordination to jointly inject valuable stability into the world and better leverage the strategic value of China-France relations. Subsequently, Wang Yi was invited to have a phone call with Bernard again in March to discuss the situation in the Middle East. Wang Yi said that in the face of a critical situation, China and France, as permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, should strengthen strategic communication and coordination, firmly safeguard the United Nations Charter and international law, and prevent the world from returning to the law of the jungle.
