In late April, Jiaxiang Li, Chief of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), and Frédéric Cuvillier, French Junior Minister of Transport of the Maritime Economy, met in the Great Hall of the PRC for the purpose of signing a Statement of Intent Toward Cooperation in the Civil Aviation Industry. Visiting French President Francois Hollande, and Chinese President Jinping Xi were both present for that ceremonial signing.

That Statement of Intent was aimed at strengthening the cooperation between China and France relating to training in Civil Aviation, air traffic management, application of airports, and new technology, along with the additional goal of further advancing the development of friendly relations between those two Countries in the Civil Aviation Industry.

In addition to the signing of that Statement of Intent, officials of China and France issued a joint press Communiqué promising to work jointly toward creating a harmonious, democratic, prosperous, and progressive World, in which both sides stressed the benefits of cooperation between their two countries, especially in relation to the Civil Aviation Industry.

Those same Chinese and French Government officials discussed the great importance of mutual cooperation between China and France in the Industrial Aviation Industry, especially relating to the A320 final assembly line in Tianjin, the Hafei Airbus Composite Materials Manufacturing Center, French enterprise's participation in China's C919 project, the civil helicopter project, and the engine project. The two sides also expressed a willingness to enhance cooperation in the joint R&D, the joint investment, and the joint production in the realm of aviation. They were satisfied with the cooperation and communications between their competent Civil Aviation Authorities, and expressed a desire to continue strengthening that cooperation in the Civil Aviation Industry.

On that same day, also in the Great Hall of the PRC, officials of the China Aviation Supplies Holding Company, and the Airbus S.A.S. signed an agreement of intent to order 60 Airbus aircraft, including 42 single-aisled A320s, and 18 twin-aisled A330s. Chinese President Jinping Xi, and the visiting French President Francois Hollande, witnessed the signing of that document by Mr. Hai Li, General Manager of the China Aviation Supplies Holding Company, and Mr. Fabrice Brégier, President and CEO of Airbus.,/p>

Those two Statements of Intent were only two of several agreements signed between China and France on that day.
