Therefore, France must cooperate with China and draw closer to China, finding positive elements in the relations between our two countries."

It's impossible to realize peace and global economic growth in this world without China, said former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin, stressing that France must cooperate with China to look for positive elements in the bilateral ties.
The former prime minister, who now serves as the Chairman of the Foundation Prospective and Innovation, made the remarks while speaking in an interview to China Global Television Network (CGTN).
