Juppe said the history of bilateral ties proves that promotion of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries conforms to the fundamental interests of both sides and will contribute to their joint response to economic, social and environmental problems of global dimensions.
France pays tribute to China's achievements and China's rapid growth has brought new opportunities for deepening bilateral cooperation, he said.
Juppe hoped Wu's visit would provide opportunities for enhancing pragmatic cooperation between Bordeaux and different localities in China in various fields.
Wu arrived in Bordeaux earlier Sunday after touring the central French city of Lyon.
