France and China Reaffirm Stance Over Nuclear Arms Use in Ukraine

Chinese President Xi Jinping and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron have reaffirmed their position in preventing the use of nuclear arms in the war in Ukraine, the French Presidency said. According to reports.

The pair, who held a meeting on Tuesday on the sidelines of the summit, also discussed issues like providing ‘financial support’ to developing economies – pointing out the “particularly urgent case” of Zambia.

China is Zambia’s biggest creditor, making up for 75% of what it owes to various other countries, including France.

Chinese state news agency Xinhua also quoted Xi as saying that China and France had maintained “positive development” in relations and “progress” in bilateral cooperation.
