    French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna was visiting the Chinese capital, and earlier met Premier Li Qiang with whom she discussed a broad range of topics including rebalancing France’s economic relationship with the world’s second largest economy.

    China, facing trade issues with the European Union, has also been called out for its non-transparent laws on foreign businesses operating in the country.

    “We will listen to the voices of European businesses, earnestly solve problems of foreign investors in China,” Wang said.

    The biggest risk we need to get rid of is the uncertainty brought by broad politicisation," Wang said, adding that the dependency most in need of reduction is protectionism.

    Wang said China maintains normal friendly relations with all countries including Iran and Russia, as well as France.

    Wang also said he hopes to deepen traditional exchanges with France in civil nuclear and aerospace and explore emerging areas such as education and scientific research.
