China News Service, May 8. On May 7, local time, Chinese President Xi Jinping and French President Macron held a small-scale meeting between the heads of state of China and France in the Hautes-Pyrenees.

According to reports, Macron has a close relationship with his grandmother and often visited her here when he was a child. To this day, he still comes back here from time to time for vacation.

Macron was re-elected in 2022. In an interview with reporters, he said that from a personal perspective, the first thing he would do when he was re-elected was to "go to the Pyrenees."

The Tourmalet Pass is a famous climbing point in the history of the Tour de France, with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters and is famous for its high difficulty. The French are keen on cycling. Macron has traveled by bicycle many times and appeared at the Tour de France several times to watch the race.

During the interactions between the Chinese and French heads of state in the past few years, they have repeatedly chosen to hold various meetings in meaningful locations outside the capital.

The two heads of state held a small-scale meeting in the Hautes-Pyrenees. This was undoubtedly a well-arranged arrangement by the French side to welcome President Xi Jinping. It had an official color and a certain degree of personal nature. It not only had the solemnity of the friendship between major powers, but also was more personal. Full of the ease of making friends.

A year ago, in Guangzhou Pine Garden, the two heads of state enjoyed a cup of tea, discussed the past and present, and enjoyed the guqin performance of "Mountains and Flowing Waters." At that time, Xi Jinping said, "To understand today's China, we must start by understanding China's history." Macron said, "True friendship is mutual understanding and mutual respect."

One year later, China and France celebrated the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. During this small-scale meeting in the Hautes-Pyrenees, Xi Jinping said that although China and France belong to Eastern and Western civilizations and have different values and social systems, they both share the same values. Pay attention to exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations. Both sides can be harmonious but different, and make new contributions to world peace and development and human progress through dialogue and cooperation.

Macron said that through in-depth exchanges with Mr. Chairman, I have further understood China’s history, culture, concepts and development process, and deepened my understanding of China’s stance on important issues. The current international situation is full of uncertainties. It is crucial for Europe to maintain strategic independence and unity. It is also crucial for Europe to develop good relations with China and strengthen bilateral and multilateral cooperation.

At the east and west ends of the Eurasian continent, China and France, as important representatives of Eastern and Western civilizations, have always appreciated and attracted each other.

From night talks in Nice, tea talks in Yuyuan Garden, and walks in the Pine Garden, to this small-scale meeting in the Hautes-Pyrenees, the heads of state of China and France have gone deeper into each other's countries and learned more about the multidimensional Eastern and Western civilizations. This kind of The process of mutual respect, exchanges and mutual learning, each appreciating the beauty and sharing the beauty, is a vivid reflection of the exchanges between China and France over the past 60 years.
