According to the Ministry of Commerce's official website, on October 21, Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao met with Airbus CEO Faury. The two sides exchanged views on Airbus' cooperation with China. Wang Wentao stated that the Chinese market has steadily expanded in recent years, becoming the world's second-largest consumer and import market. China will continue to promote Chinese-style modernization and develop new-quality productivity, which will provide broad development space for foreign-invested enterprises, including Airbus. He expressed hope that Airbus will take the opening of the second A320 final assembly line in Tianjin as an opportunity to further strengthen cooperation with China and provide more high-quality aviation products and services to China and the world. Wang Wentao emphasized that the global economy is currently experiencing increasing fragmentation, unilateralism and protectionism are impacting the international economic and trade order, and instability and uncertainty are significantly increasing. China will continue to leverage the role of the Foreign Enterprise Roundtable to actively promote the resolution of issues and concerns encountered by Airbus in its development and operations in China, and jointly maintain the stability of the global supply chain. Faury stated that Airbus has full confidence in the development of the Chinese economy and civil aviation industry, and that the opening of the second A320 final assembly line in Tianjin provides favorable conditions for Airbus to strengthen its cooperation with China. Airbus is willing to continue to deepen its presence in the Chinese market and contribute to promoting China-France and China-Europe economic and trade cooperation.
