Beijing, Paris securing world from unilateralism

At a regular news conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday, the spokesperson announced that Jean-Noël Barrot, the French minister for Europe and foreign affairs, will visit China on Thursday.

The timing of Barrot's visit is significant, a year after the 60th anniversary of China and France forging diplomatic ties. The Chinese leader's state visit to France at the time set bilateral ties on a new journey, having profound and positive impact internationally.

Barrot's upcoming visit will help take China-France ties in the healthy direction charted by the two nations' leaders.
