French multinational banking group Societe Generale remains bullish about the long-term prospects of Chinese financial markets despite recent fluctuations, and will continue to serve as a bridge between China and international markets, a senior executive said.

"Having a long-term commitment to China, we are dedicated to achieving sustainable development in the country and are optimistic about the Chinese market's tremendous potential," said He Xin, Societe Generale's chief country officer for China and CEO of Societe Generale (China) Ltd, the group's wholly owned subsidiary in the country.

The remarks have come at a time of volatility in China's A-share market.
