新华社北京12月4日电(记者董雪、冯歆然)12月4日中午,国家主席习近平在北京同法国总统马克龙共同出席中法企业家委员会第七次会议闭幕式并致辞。

习近平指出,今年是中法关系“新甲子”的开局之年。两国经贸合作领域不断拓展、韧性不断增强。前10个月,双边贸易额达到687.5亿美元,双向投资额累计超过270亿美元。双方要秉持建交初心,抓住机遇、深化合作,推动两国关系行稳致远,共同谱写中法合作更加美好的篇章,以中法关系的稳定性应对当今世界的不确定性。

一是不断拓展双边经贸合作新领域。中方视法方为重要的、不可或缺的经贸合作伙伴,欢迎法方积极参与中国式现代化进程,支持有实力、有意愿的中方企业赴法投资兴业。双方要挖掘人工智能、绿色和数字经济、生物医药、银发经济等新兴领域合作潜力,持续推动产业链供应链开放合作,为两国企业提供公平、透明、非歧视、可预期的营商环境。

二是继续推动中欧互利合作新发展。今年是中欧建交50周年。中欧经贸关系的本质是优势互补、互利共赢,完全能够在发展中实现动态平衡。相互依赖不是风险,利益交融不是威胁。中法双方要推动中欧坚持全面战略伙伴关系定位,共创中欧关系更加光明的下一个50年。

三是共同为改革完善全球治理作出新贡献。今年是世界反法西斯战争胜利和联合国成立80周年。为了推动构建更加公正合理的全球治理体系,继全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议、全球文明倡议后,今年9月我提出全球治理倡议。中法两国要践行真正的多边主义,共同维护联合国地位和权威,维护以世界贸易组织为核心、以规则为基础的多边贸易体制,为改革完善全球治理贡献正能量。

习近平强调,中共二十届四中全会审议通过了“十五五”规划建议。中国将全面推进中国式现代化,扩大高水平对外开放。欢迎法国企业家继续共享中国发展红利。

中法两国政府、企业等各界代表约150人参加闭幕式。

BEIJING, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping and French President Emmanuel Macron attended and addressed the closing ceremony of the seventh meeting of China-France Business Council on Thursday in Beijing.

Xi noted that the two sides should respond to uncertainties in today's world with the stability of China-France relations.

Xi called on both sides to continuously expand new areas of bilateral economic and trade cooperation, keep fostering new progress in mutually beneficial cooperation between China and the European Union (EU), and jointly make fresh contributions to the reform and improvement of global governance.

Noting that this year marks the start of a fresh 60-year cycle for China-France relations, Xi said the bilateral economic and trade cooperation has been continuously expanding and demonstrating greater resilience, with bilateral trade reaching 68.75 billion U.S. dollars in the first ten months of 2025 and cumulative mutual investment exceeding 27 billion U.S. dollars.

China and France should seize opportunities, deepen cooperation, ensure the steady and sustained growth of bilateral relations, and jointly write an even brighter chapter for bilateral cooperation, Xi said.

China views France as a significant and indispensable partner in economic and trade affairs, Xi said, noting that China welcomes France's participation in China's modernization and support capable and willing Chinese enterprises in investing in France.

The two sides should tap the potential for cooperation in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, green and digital economies, biomedicine, and the silver economy, Xi said, adding that China and France should continue to promote cooperation in industrial and supply chains and provide a fair, transparent, non-discriminatory and predictable business environment for companies from both countries.

Noting that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of China-EU diplomatic relations, Xi said China-EU economic and trade ties are complementary and mutually beneficial in nature, and are completely capable of achieving a dynamic balance through development.

Interdependency is not a risk, and convergent interests are not a threat, Xi said, adding that China and France should work together to promote the maintaining of China-EU relationship as a comprehensive strategic partnership, and jointly creating an even brighter next 50 years for the relationship.

Xi noted that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations.

"To promote the development of a more just and equitable global governance system, I proposed the Global Governance Initiative in September this year following the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilizational Initiative," he said.

Xi noted that China and France should practice true multilateralism, jointly uphold the status and authority of the UN, safeguard the WTO-centered, rules-based multilateral trading system, and contribute to the reform and improvement of global governance.

The fourth plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee has reviewed and adopted the recommendations for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) for national economic and social development, Xi said, adding that China will comprehensively advance the Chinese modernization and expand high-standard opening-up.

French entrepreneurs are welcome to continue sharing divided of China's development, he said. ■
