PARIS, July 5 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday called on China and France to act as forces of stability, openness, inclusiveness and unity. He made the remarks at a joint press conference with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot.

According to him, the two sides held talks and jointly chaired the 7th meeting of the China-France high-level people-to-people exchange mechanism. During the meeting, a profound, positive and frank exchange of views took place on China-France and China-EU relations, and a number of important consensuses were reached.

Both sides agreed that in the complex and unstable international environment, major countries should shoulder greater responsibilities. As permanent members of the UN Security Council, China and France should adhere to the fundamental principles of the UN Charter, maintain the spirit of independence and self-reliance on which their diplomatic relations are based, and jointly contribute to world peace, stability and development, Wang Yi stressed.

First, China and France should strengthen strategic ties and act as forces of stability. Second, they should develop win-win cooperation and act as forces of openness. Third, Beijing and Paris should promote people-to-people and cultural exchanges and act as forces of inclusiveness. Fourth, the two countries should strengthen multilateral coordination and act as forces of unity, Wang said.

China will continue to work with France to uphold the international system with the UN at its core and support each other's initiatives in multilateral cooperation, he added.

The minister noted that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the European Union. China firmly supports European integration, welcomes France's efforts to strengthen the EU's strategic autonomy, and is ready to work with France to promote the sustainable development of China-EU relations, Wang Yi concluded. –0–

PARIS, July 5 (Xinhua) — French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, calling for jointly advancing multilateralism and strengthening coordination in combating hegemonic conflicts and bloc confrontation.

During the meeting at the Elysee Palace, E. Macron asked Wang Yi to convey his best wishes and friendly greetings to Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The French leader noted that France and China have broad consensus on many important issues, including support for multilateralism and respect for international law. Both countries are permanent members of the UN Security Council and bear special responsibilities in the context of increasing uncertainty and instability in the world.

According to him, the French side hopes to strengthen political coordination with China on international economic, financial and global governance issues, as well as jointly counter global challenges, inject vitality into multilateralism and prevent the world from plunging into hegemonic conflicts and bloc confrontation.

E. Macron stressed that on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, the European Union (EU) and China must make a strategic choice and become predictable and reliable friends and partners for each other. France attaches great importance to the development of French-Chinese relations and welcomes the increase of Chinese investment to build more balanced economic and trade ties.

Wang Yi conveyed warm greetings from Xi Jinping to Macron and noted that China is willing to work with France to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, pave the way for future high-level contacts and deepen all-round cooperation.

He stressed that China and France are comprehensive strategic partners and two major stabilizing forces in the world. The more turbulent the world is, the more the strategic value of China-France relations is emphasized, the Chinese diplomat added.

China is willing to strengthen strategic communication and joint cooperation with France, jointly uphold multilateralism, oppose unilateral pressure and resist bloc confrontation, so as to bring more certainty and predictability to a changing and unstable world, promote equitable and orderly multipolarity as well as inclusive and win-win economic globalization, Wang said.

China is committed to deepening mutually beneficial cooperation with France and hopes that the French side will create more favorable and fair conditions for Chinese companies to invest and operate in France, he added.

China and the EU have resolved the issue of brandy imports through friendly consultations, Wang said. He also hoped that France, as a key EU country, would urge the European side to properly handle the trade and economic disputes between China and the EU and actively respond to China's concerns.

The parties also exchanged views on the Ukrainian crisis, the situation in the Gaza Strip, the Iranian nuclear issue and other issues. –0–

NEW YORK, July 5 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump signed the historic tax and spending bill, also known as the "one, big, beautiful bill," on Friday afternoon.

The bill was signed at the White House the day after it passed the House. Trump set a July 4 deadline to pass the bill, in order to make the signing part of the Independence Day festivities that also included a B-2 bomber flyby.

The law reflects Trump's policy of cutting taxes and increasing spending on military needs and border security.

Speaking before the signing ceremony, Trump thanked Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson for their work in holding a conference to pass the bill. “These two are a team like no other,” he said.

House members are divided on the bill, which would slash spending on health care and food programs for the poor and increase spending on the military and border security while cutting taxes on a broad range of incomes. The bill is projected to add $3.3 trillion to the already large national debt.

The bill passed the House by a narrow margin of 218 to 214, with all Democrats and two Republicans, Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, voting against it.

After the House passed the bill, White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt called it "the embodiment of everything the president fought for and the American people voted for," noting that it was "a triumphant day for the American people."

The White House, in a press release Thursday, called the bill's passage the president's biggest legislative victory, adding that "time and time again, President Trump and Republicans have fought and won for the American people." -0-

PARIS, July 5 (Xinhua) — War is not a solution to the Iranian nuclear issue, and preemptive strikes obviously have no legitimacy, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said on Friday, stressing that force will not bring true peace.

He made the statement here at a joint press conference with his French counterpart Jean-Noël Barrot.

Asked about the situation in the Middle East, Wang Yi said the recent military conflict between Israel and Iran should not be repeated. He stressed that the abuse of military force will only lead to new conflicts and the accumulation of more hatred. The United States has set a bad precedent by openly attacking the nuclear facilities of a sovereign state, the Chinese diplomat added.

He warned that if such actions lead to a nuclear catastrophe, the entire world would suffer the consequences. –0–
