习近平介绍都江堰历史和意义，指出都江堰水利工程是全世界迄今唯一仍在使用的古代水利工程，也是人类与自然和谐共生最早的成功实践之一，修建过程充分反映了中华民族自强不息、不畏艰难、勇于开拓的精神。每次来到都江堰都能感受到先人因地制宜、顺势而为、天人合一、治水利民的伟大，从中汲取到治国理政的智慧。法兰西民族同样具有坚韧不拔的精神。中法两国应该比其他国家更能够相互理解、相互尊重。

马克龙表示，都江堰山清水秀、景色优美。两千多年前建成的水利工程至今仍在发挥作用，中国人民的勤劳智慧令人赞叹。法中两国都有悠久的历史文化，两国人民对美好生活的追求是相通的，法中合作可以共谋发展繁荣、造福两国人民。

习近平强调，国家强盛、民族复兴需要物质文明的积累，也需要精神文明的升华。有文化自信的民族，才能立得住、站得稳、行得远。中华文明是世界上唯一绵延不断且以国家形态发展至今的伟大文明，具有突出的连续性、创新性、统一性、包容性、和平性。中法两国分别是东西方文明的杰出代表。两国共有的独立自主精神，就源于各自深厚的文化底蕴。中法建交不仅是两个独立自主国家的“握手”，也是两大璀璨文明的交汇。面对变乱交织的国际形势，相信中法两个历史文化大国能够通过对话合作，共同为世界和平稳定和人类发展进步作出更大贡献。

马克龙说，当前国际形势迅速演变，充满不确定性。法方愿同中方加强沟通协调，坚持通过对话协商解决冲突，携手维护世界和平稳定。

习近平夫妇邀请马克龙夫妇共进午餐，继续深入交流。

两国元首一致同意保持密切沟通，共同推动中法全面战略伙伴关系不断向前发展。

访问期间，双方就加强全球治理、合作应对全球气候和环境挑战、持续推进和平利用核能领域合作、农业和食品交流与合作、乌克兰局势和巴勒斯坦局势发表了联合声明。

Chinese President Xi Jinping and visiting French President Emmanuel Macron had friendly exchanges on Friday in Dujiangyan in Chengdu, capital city of southwest China's Sichuan Province.

Upon their arrival, Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, were warmly received by Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan. Welcoming them to Sichuan, known as the "Land of Abundance," Xi recalled his visit last year to the Hautes-Pyrenees Department at Macron's invitation. Xi said he believed that Macron's visit will help deepen his understanding of China.

In Dujiangyan, the two couples strolled and conversed along Yangong Path before taking seats at Huaigu Pavilion, where they enjoyed tea by the waterside and held wide-ranging discussions on global affairs.

The Dujiangyan irrigation system is the world's only ancient irrigation project still in operation today, and also one of the earliest successful practices of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, Xi said, adding that its construction process fully reflects the Chinese nation's spirit of constant self-improvement, fearlessness in the face of hardship, and courage to forge ahead.

"Every time I come to Dujiangyan, I can deeply feel the greatness of our ancestors in adapting to local conditions, following the natural course, achieving harmony between human and nature, and harnessing water resources for the benefit of the people," Xi said. "From this, I draw wisdom for state governance."

Noting that the French people also possess a spirit of perseverance, Xi said China and France should be in a better position than other countries to understand and respect each other.

Hailing that the irrigation system built over two millennia ago still functions effectively today, Macron said it is an impressive testament to the industriousness and wisdom of the Chinese people.

Both France and China boast a long and rich history and cultural heritage, and the two peoples have a shared aspiration for a better life, Macron said, adding that through cooperation, France and China can jointly pursue development and prosperity, and bring benefits to the people of both countries.

Xi stressed that national prosperity and rejuvenation require not only the accumulation of material wealth but also the cultural-ethical advancement, noting that only a nation with cultural confidence can stand firm and thrive. He added that Chinese civilization is the only great civilization in the world that has existed uninterrupted and continuously developed in the form of a state, markedly characterized by continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness and peace.

Noting that China and France are outstanding representatives of Eastern and Western civilizations, respectively, Xi said the spirit of independence shared by the two countries stems from their profound cultural heritage. The establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries was not only a "handshake" between two independent countries, but also the convergence of two splendid civilizations, he added.

Amid an international landscape marked by intertwined changes and turmoil, Xi said China believes that, as two major countries with long history and profound culture, China and France can jointly contribute more to world peace, stability and human progress through dialogue and cooperation.

Macron said that given the rapidly evolving international landscape full of uncertainties, France is willing to strengthen communication and coordination with China, engage in dialogue and consultation to address conflicts, and work together to safeguard world peace and stability.

President Xi and Madam Peng later invited President Macron and his wife to lunch.

The two heads of state agreed to maintain close communication to jointly promote the continuous development of the China-France comprehensive strategic partnership.

During this visit, China and France issued joint statements on strengthening global governance, joint response to global climate and environmental challenges, continuous promotion of cooperation in peaceful use of nuclear energy, exchanges and cooperation in agriculture and food, and the situations in Ukraine and Palestine.

Wang Yi was present at these events.
