Liu said, not long ago, I led a CPC delegation to visit France, exchanging views and contacting with representatives from all sectors of France, including the France-China Friendship Group of the French National Assembly. Your visit to China reflects the French side's hope to deepen China-French relations. China-French relations transcend bilateral scope and have major global influence. In the face of the complex and changing international situation, the stable China-France relations can provide valuable certainties for the uncertain world. The CPC is willing to maintain close exchanges with French political parties, strengthen dialogue on respective domestic policies, diplomatic concepts, international issues, etc., promote China-French cooperation in various fields, and jointly respond to global challenges. France is an important country in the European Union (EU). It is hoped that the French side will continue to play a positive role in promoting China-EU relations for healthy and stable development.

Alauzet said, the delegation visited many Chinese cities and he was deeply impressed. France and China, both major countries with international influence, maintain close cooperation at bilateral and multilateral levels. Both countries have profound historical and cultural heritage and can maintain prudent and rational stances in an increasingly polarized world. France-China Friendship Group of the French National Assembly follows China's development, and hopes to strengthen exchanges with the IDCPC, expand cooperation through political party channels, enhance understanding and trust, and jointly promote France-China comprehensive strategic partnership for new progress. He expressed the willingness to play an active role in promoting EU-China friendship.

The two sides also exchanged views on international and regional hotspot issues such as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
