International community speaks highly of Xi's speech and CIIE

Antoine Baule, CEO of Lesaffre, a leading French company in yeast making

CIIE is a very big event and Chinese President Xi Jinping's words of openness and peaceful growth for the world are very important to us and to our company. Our mission is working together to better nourish and protect the planet. We feel very close to President Xi's words this morning on openness of trade and cooperation to improve the condition of humanity's environment.

I think what is very impressive for me is in many perspectives, Chinese President Xi Jinping and French President Emmanuel Macron are aware of sharing viewpoints in systemic openness and protecting the environment while achieving economic growth and respecting the planet and the future of the planet.

This year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. The relationship between the two countries has improved a lot and I hope that in the next 55 years relations it will continue growing and even accelerating their growth.
