习近平同法国总统马克龙就中法建交60周年互致贺电

新华社北京1月27日电 国家主席习近平1月27日同法国总统马克龙互致贺电，庆祝两国建交60周年。

习近平指出，60年前，中法打破冷战坚冰、跨越阵营鸿沟，建立大使级外交关系。这一历史事件推动世界格局朝着对话和合作的正确方向演变，至今仍具有重要启示意义。60年来，中法始终坚持独立自主的战略抉择，始终致力于通过互利合作实现共同发展、通过平等交流促进文明互鉴、通过多边协调携手应对全球性挑战。两国关系创造多个“第一”、取得丰硕成果，不仅造福于两国人民，也为维护世界和平稳定、促进世界多极化和国际关系民主化发挥重要作用。

习近平强调，今天的世界再次走到关键十字路口。面对何去何从的时代之问、历史之问，中法作为独立自主大国和联合国安理会常任理事国，理应秉持建交初心，担负责任使命，共同开辟通向和平、安全、繁荣、进步的人类发展之路。我高度重视中法关系发展，愿同马克龙总统一道，以两国建交60周年为契机，守正创新、继往开来，将中法全面战略伙伴关系打造得更加牢固和富有活力，为增进两国和世界人民的福祉作出更大贡献。

马克龙在贺电中表示，60年前法中建交是富有远见的历史性决定。当今世界面临前所未有危机，法中、欧中更加需要携手前行，为应对全球性挑战找到共同解决方案。2023年是法中关系全面恢复活力的一年，2024年将是法中合作更进一步的一年。我期待同主席先生一道，推进双边经贸、人文、青年等交流合作，加强在全球问题上的沟通协调，不断深化法中全面战略伙伴关系，以积极向上的活力开启法中关系的新甲子。

Xi urges China, France to jointly open up path of peace, progress for human development

BEIJING, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- As today's world is once again at a critical crossroads, China and France should jointly open up a path of peace, security, prosperity and progress for human development, Chinese President Xi Jinping said here on Saturday.

Xi made the remarks as he exchanged congratulations with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, on the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

China and France broke the ice of the Cold War and crossed the divide between different blocs to establish diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level 60 years ago, Xi noted, adding that this historical event has pushed the global landscape to evolve in the right direction of dialogue and cooperation, which still offers inspirations for today.

Over the past 60 years, the two countries have adhered to making strategic choices independent of external influence, and have always been committed to achieving common development through mutually beneficial cooperation, promoting mutual learning among civilizations through exchanges on an equal footing, and jointly addressing global challenges through multilateral coordination, Xi said.

There is more than one "first" and fruitful accomplishments concerning China-France relations, which have not only benefited the people of both countries, but also played a vital role in maintaining global peace and stability, promoting multi-polarization of the world, and advancing the democratization of international relations, Xi said.

Facing the question of the times and of history on where the world should be headed, China and France, both as independent major countries and permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, should stay true to the original aspiration of establishing diplomatic relations, shoulder their responsibility, undertake their mission, and jointly open up a path of peace, security, prosperity and progress for human development, he said.

Attaching great importance to the development of bilateral ties, Xi said he stands ready to work with Macron to take the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations as an opportunity to uphold fundamental principles, break new ground, build on past achievements, open up a new future, and make China-France comprehensive strategic partnership more solid and dynamic, so as to further contribute to improving the well-being of the two peoples and of humanity.

Macron, in his congratulatory message, stated that the establishment of diplomatic relations between France and China 60 years ago was a visionary and historic decision.

In the face of unprecedented global challenges today, cooperation between France and China, as well as between Europe and China, is more crucial than ever in search of common solutions for global challenges, he added.

The year 2023 witnessed a comprehensive revitalization of France-China relations, and in 2024, cooperation between the two nations is expected to be further enhanced, he noted.

Macron said he looks forward to working with President Xi to promote bilateral economic, cultural, and youth exchanges, strengthen communication and coordination on global issues, and continually deepen the comprehensive strategic partnership between France and China so that both sides can infuse renewed vitality into bilateral relations for the next 60 years. ■
