Today, the President of France, Macron, in the presence of Chancellor Merkel and EU Commission President Juncker with China’s President Xi meets. It comes to investments and policies at eye-level.
It happens rarely to never, that a state of this size to visit in addition to the actual state of the guest will be also invited other guests from other countries. Macron, however, is able to think larger, has done just that:
“I wanted to decide on the state visit of my Chinese guest with a Meeting of multilateralism, in the presence of Chancellor Merkel and EU-Commission President Juncker.”
A strong signal that sets a Macron. Directly after the first session of the German-French parliamentary Assembly, the Chancellor, to Paris, the EU is, therefore, better said,
Together, eye-to-eye
Germany and France and the President of the Commission talk with the great power of China. Why? Macron explained:
“We do this for the first Time in the framework of a bilateral meeting, to have the image of a Europe, which is organized and working together, and to discuss to the other, in a good Format multilateralism, the Chinese partners.”
