Three hundred leading business representatives from China and France attended the China-France Business Cooperation Forum in Paris, which aimed at strengthening economic and trade cooperation between the two countries.

The Chinese side was led by Ren Hongbin, the Chairman of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. Ren said the interests of China and France are highly integrated and complementary, and there are countless success stories of strong cooperation and win-win cooperation in the supply chain.

Former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin stressed that since the establishment of China-France diplomatic relations 60 years ago, the two countries have enjoyed close exchanges and cooperation, and many French companies have invested and set up factories in China.

CAROLINE PENARD General Manager French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in China "The roadshow is very meaningful, as it further strengthens the economic relationship between China and France. I participated in the expo in 2023, and I think there will be many French companies participating in the chain expo this year."

This event also included a roadshow to promote the 2nd China International Supply Chain Expo. Representatives of enterprises from the two countries also discussed how to enhance cooperation in supply chain, services and investment.
