The official visit of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang to France created a climate that is favorable to the relationship and cooperation between the two countries, said some chieftains of enterprises in France.

The visit of Chinese Premier "corresponds to the desire to strengthen the cultural, political, economic relations between the two countries," said Pierre Clement, president of the architecture firm Arte-Charpentier.

"First of all, there is a climate that is favorable for the cooperation between the two countries, which is very important. However, it is not enough, because if companies do not follow up, and if our outcomes do not meet the needs of the Chinese, it is useless to have a very good relationship," he stressed.

For Marc Hamy, vice president of Airbus, China is a very important economic partner of France. "There are many exchanges between the two countries," he said, referring to the recent high-profile officials' visits between France and China.

"The visit of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang strengthened this strategic partnership in which aeronautics plays an important role," Hamy affirmed.

"For the past ten years, Airbus has chosen to develop a very strong partnership with China. We have an assembly line in Tianjin which helped deliver successfully 220 A320 aircraft," the vice president of Airbus said.

"For us, China is now the the laboratory of the world on environmental, urban and architectural matters, so (we) must work with the Chinese and be present in China," he stressed.

The CEO of Safo Group, Francois Huygues Despointes, who is working with a Chinese company in food distribution, believed that through the exchanges that China and France are developing, both countries would create more jobs. Endit
