As we all know, the annual first visit of a head of state always attracts much attention. So, why did President Xi Jinping choose Europe for his first visit this year? A tripartite meeting today gave the answer. On the morning of May 6, local time, President Xi Jinping held a tripartite meeting between the leaders of China, France and the EU with French President Macron and European Commission President von der Leyen at the Elysée Palace in Paris. This meeting enhanced the significance of this visit to Europe. During the meeting, President Xi Jinping pointed out that the world today has entered a new period of turbulence and change. As two important forces in the world, China and the EU should adhere to their partnership positioning and promote the stable and healthy development of China-EU relations.

The choice of France as the first stop of this European trip also has profound meaning. You should have noticed that yesterday, French Prime Minister Attal went to the airport to greet President Xi Jinping. He also specially greeted President Xi with "Hello" in Chinese. Today, President Xi Jinping arrived at the Elysée Palace by car, and President Macron also stepped forward to greet him warmly. In the afternoon, President Macron also held a grand welcome ceremony for President Xi Jinping.

From the enthusiastic details to the high-standard courtesy, it all shows that France welcomes and attaches great importance to President Xi's visit. Sino-French relations have always been at the forefront of China's relations with Western countries. This year also marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. President Xi Jinping came to France at this time and brought three messages from China. The first keyword is "friendship" and is willing to promote Sino-French relations to build on the past and open up the future; the second keyword is "cooperation" and China will expand high-level opening up and deepen cooperation with countries around the world, including France; the third keyword is "friendship". The key word is "responsibility". China is willing to strengthen communication and cooperation with France to safeguard world peace and stability. As two major countries with independent spirit, China and France will start again together and unleash huge energy to benefit both countries and the world.

We know that in 2014 and 2019, President Xi Jinping visited Europe and France twice in the spring. After five years, President Xi came to Paris again in the spring. President Xi Jinping’s trip to Europe will not only bring more warmth to China, France and China, but also to the world.
