President Xi Jinping and French President Emmanuel Macron agreed in a phone conversation on Tuesday to push for more progress in developing China-France relations in the coming five years and stabilizing relations between China and the European Union.

主席和法国总统马克龙在周二的电话交谈中一致同意，推动中法关系在未来五年内取得更大进展，稳定中国与欧盟的关系。

Faced with changes unseen in a century, Xi said that China and France, both independent major countries, should uphold their original aspiration when establishing diplomatic ties, stay firm on their comprehensive strategic partnership and respect each other's core interests and major concerns.

Xi表示，面对一个世纪以来从未有过的变化，中法两国都是独立的大国，建交应秉持初衷，坚定全面战略伙伴关系，尊重彼此的核心利益和重大关切。

Xi said it is important that the two sides effectively plan their cooperation priorities for the coming five years through bilateral dialogue mechanisms.

Xi表示，重要的是，双方通过双边对话机制有效规划未来五年的合作重点。

While cooperation in traditional areas such as civilian nuclear energy and aerospace should continue, efforts should also be made to bolster cooperation in emerging fields including artificial intelligence and clean energy, he said.

他说，在民用核能和航空航天等传统领域的合作应继续下去的同时，还应努力加强人工智能和清洁能源等新兴领域的合作。

China is willing to expand its imports of quality products from France and welcomes French investment and French high-tech enterprises to carry out cooperation in China, Xi said.

Xi表示，中国愿意扩大从法国进口优质产品，欢迎法国投资和法国高科技企业在华开展合作。

China hopes that France will provide a fair, just and nondiscriminatory business environment for Chinese companies investing there, he added.

他补充说，中国希望法国为在法国投资的中国公司提供公平、公正和非歧视的商业环境。

He added that China and France must uphold true multilateralism, expand third-party cooperation in Africa and other areas, and discuss cooperation on the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative.

他补充说，中法两国必须坚持真正的多边主义，扩大在非洲和其他领域的第三方合作，讨论在《全球发展倡议》和《全球安全倡议》方面的合作。

Stable and sound China-EU relations benefit the peoples of both sides as well as those in other countries, Xi said, adding that China appreciates France's commitment to strategic autonomy.

Xi说，稳定、健康的中欧关系造福于双方和其他国家人民，中国赞赏法国致力于战略自治。

He said China hopes that France will encourage the EU to maintain the right perception of China, work with China in the same direction by managing differences properly and build on converging interests for closer cooperation in the economy and trade, green and digital development, and people-to-people exchanges.

他说，中国希望法国鼓励欧盟保持对中国的正确认识，通过妥善处理分歧，朝着同一方向与中国合作，在利益汇合的基础上，在经贸、绿色和数字发展以及人文交流等领域加强合作。

China hopes that France, which holds the EU's rotating presidency, will play a positive role in promoting the sound development of China-EU relations, Xi said.

Xi表示，中方希望欧盟轮值主席国法国为推动中欧关系健康发展发挥积极作用。

This was the first phone call between Xi and Macron since the French president was reelected last month.

这是自上月法国总统连任以来，Xi与马克龙之间的首次通话。

The two leaders also exchanged views on the Ukraine issue and agreed that all related parties should support the restoration of peace between Russia and Ukraine through negotiations.

双方领导人还就乌克兰问题交换了意见，一致认为有关各方应支持通过谈判恢复俄乌和平。

China supports European countries taking European security into their own hands, Xi said. He said it is particularly necessary to be alert to the development of bloc confrontation, which will pose a greater and more lasting threat to global security and stability.

Xi表示，中国支持欧洲国家将欧洲安全掌握在自己手中。他说，特别有必要警惕集团对抗的发展，这将对全球安全与稳定构成更大、更持久的威胁。

Macron said France has a lot of consensus with China on the Ukraine issue. France and the EU will firmly uphold strategic autonomy and are neither in favor of, nor will they participate in, bloc confrontation, he said.

马克龙表示，法国与中国在乌克兰问题上有很多共识。他说，法国和欧盟将坚定地维护战略自主权，既不赞成也不会参与集团对抗。
