Ms. Zhou Jing introduced the functions of the French Business and Investment Agency and the relevant situation of the New Aquitaine Region, and expressed her willing to cooperate with CCPIT Hubei to implement precise docking between Chinese and French companies.

President Zhang Xiaomei introduced the functions of CCPIT Hubei and the Hubei Liaison Office of the China-France Business Council. She noted that Sino-France relations are one of the most important bilateral relations. With a long history of friendship and close interactions, Hubei and France shared a solid foundation for cooperation. These projects will surely proceed smoothly with the joint efforts of both parties despite some twists and turns in the operation process. In the future, CCPIT Hubei will give full play to the role of the China-France Business Cooperation Mechanism, act as a lubricant, propellant and catalyst for Hubei-French cooperation, and work with all participants to explore new models and opportunities in economic and trade, technology, ecology, culture and truism and even lifestyle, to promote the upgrading of cooperation between Hubei and France.
