Ever since the establishment of diplomatic relations 60 years ago, bilateral trade between China and France has grown rapidly. Today, France is China's third-largest trading partner in the EU and the third-largest source of actual investment, while China is France's largest trading partner in Asia and seventh in the globe. The economic complementarity of the two countries provides a huge potential for China-France cooperation.
As we know, presently, the global economy is facing downward challenges. In face of the current complicated situation, how China and France can further coordinate and jointly build a more resilient supply chain to achieve mutually beneficial relations is the keen concern to both countries. Despite the obstacles that have arisen, opportunities can still be found to sustain economic ties between China and France.
The upcoming China-France Webinar - How to Build Resilient Economic and Trade Relation to be held on May 29, 2024 15:00-17:00 (Beijing Time GMT+8) by China Development Institute aims to provide a platform for exchanges on the way how China and France could address the cooperation and challenges ahead.
Focus for debate:
- How do you view the future potentials for trade& investment between China and France?
- How could China and France both promote high-level opening-up and better address issues relating to market access, investment rules and regulations, etc.?
- How do China and France complement each other, especially by supporting green industries and clean energy, even in the third-party market cooperation?
*Available in French and Chinese.
