Chinese President Xi Jinping and French President Emmanuel Macron reaffirmed their commitment to global cooperation during high-level talks in Beijing on Thursday, December 4, 2025. The leaders emphasized the need for China and France to “firmly stand on the right side of history” amid evolving geopolitical challenges.
President Xi highlighted the importance of upholding multilateralism, stating that both nations must “demonstrate their sense of responsibility” in addressing climate change, economic stability, and international security. The discussions come as China and France deepen economic partnerships this year, particularly in green energy and technology sectors.
Macron acknowledged the strategic role of China-France relations in shaping global governance, noting that “shared objectives require sustained dialogue.” Analysts suggest the meeting signals a concerted effort to stabilize Europe-Asia ties ahead of key international summits in early 2026.
