French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to address trade issues and the situation in Ukraine during talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The meeting comes as tensions between the European Union and China have been escalating over trade practices and human rights concerns.
Macron is likely to push for fair trade practices and increased market access for European companies in China. The EU has been critical of China's trade policies, including issues related to intellectual property rights and state subsidies for Chinese companies.
In addition to trade discussions, Macron is also expected to raise concerns about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. France has been a key player in diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis in Ukraine, which has been ongoing since 2014.
The meeting between Macron and Xi comes at a critical time for EU-China relations, with both sides seeking to address longstanding issues and find common ground on key economic and geopolitical issues. The outcome of the talks could have significant implications for the future of EU-China relations and global trade dynamics.
