PARIS, March 25, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday called for a “strong Europe-China partnership” following talks with visiting President Xi Jinping.
This partnership must be based on “strong multilateralism” and “fair and balanced” trade, Macron told reporters ahead of further talks Tuesday in Paris with Xi, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and EU Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker to explore “points of convergence” between the two trading giants.
