00:00 In the aftermath of French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to India, Chinese President
00:12 Xi Jinping has now expressed a commitment to enhancing the China-France ties and exploring
00:18 new avenues for cooperation.
00:20 Reportedly, the Chinese President has expressed readiness to work with Macron to build past
00:25 achievements, establishing new foundations, and ensuring the solidity and dynamism of
00:30 their partnership.
00:32 China calls this diplomacy the "break new ground".
00:35 China's intention to increase the French import was also conveyed by the Foreign Minister
00:39 Wang Yi, underscoring China's commitment to expanding the market demand for French
00:43 products and services.
00:46 As Macron advocates for a new Europe to emerge as the third bloc in the world, balancing
00:50 between the US and China, China is placing priority on its relationship with France.
00:55 Chinese media has already called the intensified cooperation in high-tech areas, citing the
01:00 significance of scientific and technological collaboration as a cornerstone in the bilateral
01:04 relationship.
01:06 From aerospace to renewable energy, joint research and development efforts have been
01:10 proposed by China for France.
01:13 This announcement comes amidst the French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to India.
01:17 Macron's role as the chief guest of India's 75th Republic Day celebrations drew attention
01:23 from Beijing.
01:24 China actually closely monitored his visit to India, considering Paris' increasing
01:29 role as a key defence partner for New Delhi.
01:32 The joint statement, issued by Macron's talk with Indian Prime Minister Narendra
01:36 Modi, outlined an ambitious defence industrial roadmap and emphasised the collaboration in
01:41 the Indian Ocean and Indo-Pacific region, an area which is of very important concern
01:46 for China because here Beijing wants its sole dominance.
01:51 And so, Xi is now emphasising the need for the nations to navigate global challenges
01:55 jointly, fostering a path of peace, security, prosperity and progress.
02:01 The defence and security partnership between India and France in the Indo-Pacific region
02:05 highlighted various initiatives reflecting a shared commitment for regional stability.
02:09 And so, the mention of joint surveillance mission in the southwest Indian Ocean has
02:13 raised eyebrows in Beijing, as it seeks to expand its influence in India's strategic
02:18 backyard.
02:19 The intensification of India-France cooperation has surely become a concern for China.
02:24 This invite and this new break new ground initiative is all about strategic competition
02:29 and the quest for influence in the Indo-Pacific.
