習近平同法國總統馬克龍通電話

新華社北京5月22日電　5月22日下午，國家主席習近平應約同法國總統馬克龍通電話。

習近平指出，去年5月我訪問法國，雙方一致同意弘揚獨立自主、相互理解、高瞻遠矚、互利共贏的中法建交精神，併為其賦予新的時代內涵。此後，中法合作又取得許多新進展。雙方要加強戰略溝通，凝聚共識。抓住機遇，深化投資、航空航太、核能等傳統領域合作，拓展數字、綠色、生物醫藥、銀發經濟等新興領域合作。增進人文交流，促進人民友好。

習近平強調，今年是世界反法西斯戰爭勝利和聯合國成立80週年。中法同為聯合國安理會常任理事國和獨立自主大國，是戰後國際秩序的締造者、建設者，應該加強團結合作，共同維護聯合國權威和地位，維護國際貿易規則和世界經濟秩序，踐行真正的多邊主義。國際形勢越是複雜，中法越要作出正確戰略抉擇，共同做維護國際秩序的可靠力量、促進全球增長的開放力量、引領多邊合作的進步力量。

習近平指出，中方始終視歐洲為多極世界的獨立一極，支援歐盟加強戰略自主，在國際事務中發揮更重要作用，願同歐方攜手應對全球性挑戰，達成更多既造福雙方、也有利於世界的成果。

馬克龍表示，法中、歐中關係至關重要，具有世界意義。無論國際形勢如何變化，法方高度重視對華關係、堅定恪守一個中國原則的立場不會有任何改變。願同中方加強經貿投資及各領域務實合作，保持雙邊關係良好發展勢頭，推動法中關係取得更大發展。面對快速變化的國際形勢，法方願同中方在重大問題上加強溝通協調，承擔起聯合國安理會常任理事國的責任，防止熱點問題升級外溢，共同維護世界和地區和平穩定。歐中應進一步密切溝通對話，維護共同利益。

Xi urges China, France to be reliable forces for maintaining international order

BEIJING, May 22 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday urged China and France to be reliable forces for maintaining international order, open forces for promoting global growth and progressive forces for guiding multilateral cooperation.

Speaking to French President Emmanuel Macron over phone, Xi called on China and France to jointly safeguard the UN authority and status, defend international trade rules and world economic order, and practice true multilateralism.

Xi noted that during his visit to France in May last year, the two sides agreed to carry forward the spirit of China-France diplomatic ties -- characterized by independence, mutual understanding, strategic vision and win-win cooperation -- and to enrich it with new meaning in the context of our times. Since then, China-France cooperation has made much new progress, he said.

The two sides should enhance strategic communication and build greater consensus, Xi said, calling for efforts to seize opportunities to deepen cooperation in traditional areas such as investment, aerospace and nuclear energy, while expanding cooperation in emerging sectors including digital economy, green development, biomedicine and the silver economy.

He also stressed the need to enhance people-to-people and cultural exchanges and promote friendship between the two peoples.

Xi emphasized that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations. As permanent members of the UN Security Council and independent major countries, Xi said, both China and France were founders and builders of the post-war international order, while urging the two countries to strengthen solidarity and cooperation.

The more complex the international situation becomes, he added, the more China and France need to make the right strategic choice.

The Chinese president said that China has always viewed Europe as an independent pole in a multipolar world, and supported the European Union (EU) in enhancing its strategic autonomy and playing a more important role in international affairs.

China is ready to work with the EU to tackle global challenges and deliver more outcomes that benefit both sides and the world at large, he added.

For his part, Macron said France-China relations and EU-China relations are of vital importance and of global significance.

No matter how the international situation evolves, France attaches great importance to its relations with China and remains firmly committed to the one-China principle, he said.

France is willing to deepen practical cooperation with China in trade, investment and various fields, maintain the positive momentum of bilateral ties and promote greater progress in France-China relations, said Macron.

Facing the rapidly changing international situation, the French president said his country is willing to enhance communication and coordination with China on major issues, shoulder the responsibilities as permanent members of the UN Security Council to prevent the escalation and spillover of hotspot issues, and jointly safeguard global as well as regional peace and stability.

The EU and China should further enhance communication and dialogue to safeguard common interests, he added.

Xi and Macron also held in-depth discussions on international and regional issues of mutual concern, including the Ukraine crisis, the Israel-Palestine conflict and the Iranian nuclear issue. ■
