China News Agency, Paris, May 6th (Reporter Li Yang) Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shaye attended the video seminar on "China's Economic Restart Opportunities" jointly organized by the French BRED Public Bank and the Francophone Business Forum on the 6th local time and delivered a keynote speech . Nearly one hundred representatives from more than 40 French companies including the French National Railways, CMA DAF, Renault, Galeries Lafayette and others.
In his speech, Lu Shaye comprehensively introduced the current Chinese economic situation and the progress of resuming production and resuming production. He hoped that French companies would seize the opportunity and continue to cultivate the Chinese market.
Lu Shaye first said that when China was most difficult to fight the epidemic, the French government and all sectors of the society, especially the business and industry circles, have lend a helping hand. The Chinese government and people are grateful for this. When the French epidemic situation is tight, they have also made a profit, donated a large amount of anti-epidemic materials to France, and provided convenience for the French to purchase the “air bridge” that urgently needs anti-epidemic materials in China. Medical and health experts from both countries have actively cooperated in the fight against epidemics, established a remote consultation mechanism, and exchanged clinical treatment experience. The scientific research institutions of both sides have also jointly developed rapid virus diagnostic reagents and antibody drugs. The mutual support and close cooperation between China and France in the fight against the epidemic has once again fully demonstrated the high level of bilateral relations and the profound friendship between the two peoples.
Lu Shaye said that China has taken the lead in basically controlling the epidemic and resuming production in all directions. France ’s prevention and control measures have also achieved positive results, and will gradually “lift the ban” starting next week. It is necessary for us to think together about how to promote the restart of China-France cooperation at an early date and achieve greater development.
Lu Shaye pointed out that China's economy not only gradually emerged from the epidemic and accelerated its recovery, but also showed some new "comparative advantages": first, security advantages; second, first-mover advantages; and third, innovation advantages. From this, Pierre Picquart, a professor at the Eighth Congress of Paris, concluded that considering the strong resilience of the Chinese economy, a solid industrial foundation and huge domestic demand space, the impact of the epidemic on the Chinese economy is short-term and controllable. I believe that with the With more enterprises resuming production and production, China's economy will return to the right track and continue to drive world economic development.
In their speeches, representatives of French enterprises spoke highly of the long-term friendly and active cooperation between French and Chinese companies. They expressed their pleasure at the steady progress of the cooperation projects between the two sides during the epidemic and reaffirmed their confidence in the long-term improvement of the Chinese economy. Enter the Chinese market to share development potential and new opportunities.
At the seminar, Lu Shaye and the participating entrepreneurs also discussed the development of China ’s new industries and new formats, expanding domestic demand and consumption, and the impact of the epidemic on the “Belt and Road” international cooperation and China-France third-party market cooperation, the future direction of globalization, and French companies. There were in-depth exchanges on how to seize opportunities in the Chinese market. (Finish)
