Transcript
00:00I'm reporting from Chengdu Shuanglu International Airport.
00:08As you can see, the airplane for French President Macron has just touched down.
00:14As the top French leader stepping onto Sichuan, the fourth visit of his presidency to China
00:22officially enters the Sichuan chapter.
00:25This visit is a vivid display of friendship and cooperation between China and France, marking
00:31the 61st anniversary of the diplomatic relations.
00:36Actually, Chengdu has long been a key hub for the China-France collaboration.
00:42From the 40-year partnership with Montpelier, which is the first sister city pairing between
00:48China and France, to the Airbus' first full life-circle aircraft service center outside
00:55of Europe, and the green initiatives at the China-French Ecologic Park, the collaboration
01:02between Sichuan and France has spanned multiple sectors.
01:07Particularly notable is the collaboration in Giant Pandas.
01:11Just weeks ago, Giant Pandas Huan Huan and Yuan Zai returned to Sichuan safely after 13 years
01:16in France.
01:18Their son, Yuan Meng, whose godmother is the Madame Richard Macron, has settled well in Sichuan
01:24since 2023.
01:25The national treasure has become a powerful symbol of people-to-people ties.
01:30In addition, the Sichuan Provincial Administration of Cultural Heritage and France's National
01:37Museum of Archaeology have launched jointly projects on sites such as Sanxingdui, growing
01:44new momentum in civilizational dialogue.
01:48From the strategic agreements in Beijing to the practical cooperation in Sichuan, this cross-continental
01:55visit is yielding tangible results for China and French collaboration in Western China.
