In July, Paris is bathed in a gentle breeze by the banks of the Seine River, and this romantic city is particularly vibrant due to the warm current of Sino French cooperation. Song Hailiang, the Party Secretary and Chairman of China Communications Construction Corporation, who had just arrived in Paris, hurriedly rushed to the Chinese Embassy in France located in the eighth district of Paris without adjusting the time difference. Here, he will hold a highly anticipated meeting with Chinese Ambassador to France Deng Li. This is not only a routine visit, but also a key dialogue on how Chinese infrastructure giants can leverage diplomatic resources to deeply cultivate the high-end European market and leverage global cooperation in the context of global industrial transformation.

Deepen strategic alignment

At the beginning of the meeting, Song Hailiang first expressed his gratitude to the embassy for its long-term support. He elaborated on the global business map of China Communications Construction Corporation, particularly its profound accumulation in port logistics, green construction, and urban development. Song Hailiang pointed out that the current comprehensive strategic partnership between China and France is continuously deepening and solidifying. China Communications Construction Corporation is deeply implementing General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on the work of central enterprises, relying on the system integration advantages formed in the five comprehensive, four major and five type fields, and accurately matching France's development strategy and market demand. He emphasized that CCCC not only needs to be an infrastructure builder, but also a glue for Sino French economic and trade cooperation. By strengthening strategic coordination with top French enterprises, the fruits of cooperation can benefit both sides.

Expand emerging tracks

In the face of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, green and digitalization have become high-frequency terms of discussion for both sides. Ambassador Deng Li highly praised the practical achievements of China Communications Construction Corporation in the development of France and third-party market cooperation. He stated that China and France have always adhered to the original intention of establishing diplomatic relations based on independence, mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, and now there is enormous potential for cooperation in the fields of green and low-carbon transformation and digital infrastructure. He encouraged China Communications Construction Corporation to continue to leverage its full industry chain advantages, break away from traditional infrastructure thinking, and actively explore new business models such as smart ports and urban renewal. Both sides agree to combine China's infrastructure speed with France's technological innovation and refined management, explore more new cooperation models in areas such as green construction and smart transportation, and jointly embrace the broad prospects of China Europe cooperation in the 2.0 era.keywords:Infrastructure

Jointly expand the third-party market

A major highlight of the talks focused on the collaborative development of third-party markets. Song Hailiang introduced that China Communications Construction Corporation has accumulated rich experience in collaborating with French companies to expand into third-party markets such as Africa. Deng Li expressed support for this and hoped that CCCC would continue to play a bridging role, closely combining France's advantages in technology and rules with China's strength in funding and engineering, and jointly promoting the landing of key projects with high quality. This not only helps to serve the bilateral economic and trade relations between China and France, but also brings truly sustainable infrastructure to third-party market countries. Yang Yisheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Deputy General Manager of China Communications Construction Corporation, Wang Dong, Chinese Ambassador to France, and relevant unit leaders who accompanied the meeting also had in-depth exchanges on the promotion of specific projects, paving the way for practical cooperation in the future.Editor/Yang Meiling
