Qu Lihua has already seen the video of the program sent by Zhou Sen, she showed it to the head of Xia Yuxiang, and the head of Xia Yuxiang said: "We have also been in Pakistan for a while, and we have visited a lot of places on the spot, and we are going to leave Pakistan and go to the next country." β
"Okay, Captain Xia, which country are we going to?"
"Dean Zhang called me to discuss that we have recently inspected and visited some developing countries that are friendly with China, and then we will go to some developed countries in Europe and the United States. β
"I discussed with Dean Zhang, our next stop is to France, I have already booked the ticket, everyone pack up, and two days later, we will all go to the airport to take a flight to France. β
"It's great, it's so nice to be in France, it reminds me of the Eiffel Tower and a lot of French paintings!" Qu Lihua said.
"I'm also looking forward to it, there are a lot of attractions in France, there is also a lot of French food, and the French are very romantic!" Meng Wenjie said.
Head Xia Yuxiang said: "China and France will carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and build a more solid, stable and dynamic China-France comprehensive strategic partnership at a new historical starting point. β
Two days later, head Xia Yuxiang flew to France with the members of the delegation, and the French professor Abner came to pick up the plane.
He is a middle-aged professor, 45 years old, wearing a clean black men's style, the leather shoes under his feet are polished and shiny, his image is very good, he is tall and handsome, and he is well maintained, although he is 45 years old, he still looks very energetic, and his appearance is similar to that of a young man, and the head of Xia Yuxiang praised him for his youth.
Professor Abner smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Head Xia Yuxiang, "Welcome Head Xia, we met during our visit and inspection in China, and we are old acquaintances, and I am very happy to see you again in France this time!"
"Hahaha, it's a pleasure to meet you, Professor Abner, you are still young and promising, and I will trouble you next, we are going to live in France for a while, to visit the large-scale projects and bases of Sino-French cooperation, and I also hope that you will take us to visit some French attractions and tell us about French history and culture. β
"No problem, this bag is on me, Dean Zhang has already called me, I also support you to come to France for inspection, welcome Chinese friends from afar, I am old friends with Dean Zhang and Head Xia, welcome you to France. β
After getting into the car, Professor Abner talked with Xia Yuxiang while letting the judiciary drive slower, first take everyone to see the scenery along the road in France, and then arrange a place to stay and take everyone to eat a French dinner.
Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie followed Captain Xia Yuxiang and sat in the same car with Professor Abner.
When they talked to Professor Abner about France's views on the Belt and Road Initiative, Professor Abner immediately opened up the conversation.
"The Belt and Road Initiative provides new opportunities for Sino-French cooperation, and France is willing to actively promote the continuous development of EU-China cooperation, and advocates strengthening the alignment of the EU's connectivity strategy with the Belt and Road Initiative. β
"In recent years, in France, whether it is in the political, academic or media circles, as long as people who keep an eye on China or have a little understanding of China, they are concerned about China's development and are willing to contribute to the 'Belt and Road' initiative, which is a good thing for both sides, and promotes the development of economy, infrastructure construction and regional peace and stability. β
"Many French scholars believe that the Belt and Road Initiative will help preserve multilateralism and promote a multipolar world, and that France will respond to China's invitation to participate in it, and that the new infrastructure and cultural projects promoted by China are also in the interests of France and Europe. β
"Many French scholars believe that the Belt and Road Initiative is two-way and shared, and the Belt and Road Initiative is not simply based on traditional national interests, but from a global perspective to propose solutions, so it is even more commendable, the desire of this initiative is to achieve harmonious coexistence, rather than the pursuit of world hegemony, not only to break through the geographical restrictions, but also to break the traditional camps, alliances and other barriers, almost covering people living on all continents. β
"The Belt and Road Initiative is arguably the first truly inclusive global cooperation project. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which achieves common development through practical cooperation, has received the support and participation of many countries and international organizations, and more and more countries are becoming beneficiaries. β
"From my personal point of view, I am also very optimistic about the prospects of Sino-French cooperation, I think this is a great epoch-making initiative, I think China is really a big country in the East, China is no longer a sleeping lion, China has become the world's second economy, China's economy has taken off, and has achieved zero world-renowned economic construction achievements, which is indeed remarkable, as a Frenchman, I am also full of curiosity about China, I have been to China many times, President Zhang invited me to China to participate in academic exchanges, visit activities, serious many Chinese friendsγ β
"Dean Zhang is also very good, very affinity, he is knowledgeable, and he is really happy to talk to him, Xia Tuanchang is also my old friend, I went to China, met a lot of friends, and established a deep friendship, I used to go to China, you entertained me, now I finally have the opportunity to let me do the east, entertain you, this is a rare opportunity, I want to do the friendship of the landlord, take you to visit our French attractions. β
Qu Lihua said, "I know that there are many attractions in France, including those that I have nothing to do with it, art galleries, and the Eiffel Tower, and I am looking forward to it!"
"Haha, we do have a lot of attractions in France, this is what we are proud of, we will take you to visit it slowly in the future, let's talk about the airport in Paris, France first, you got off the plane just now, what is your impression of our airport?"
Qu Lihua said: "Professor Abner, how many airports are there in Paris, France? β
Professor Abner said: "There are three airports in Paris, France, Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Beauvais, all of which are not in the city of Paris, and Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports are relatively convenient. β
"Charles de Gaulle International Airport, located in Roissy, 25 kilometers northeast of Paris, France, is a major international airport in France and an important aviation hub in Europe, ranking first in the world with 210 gates and third in the world with 235 parking stands in terms of the number of gates offered. β
"Charles de Gaulle Airport is the second largest transit platform in Europe, after London's Heathrow, and is one of the most important airports in the world. β
"When it comes to this, as a Frenchman, I'm still very proud!"
