"France sticks to the one-China policy, respects and supports China's sovereignty, reunification and territorial integrity," Jean-Pierre Raffarin told Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao Tuesday.
The issues concerning Tibet were China's internal affairs, Raffarin said, noting that France had fully recognized the sensitivity and serious consequences of related issues.
France attached great importance to China's positions and would take practical action to restore political mutual trust and promote the improvement and growth of bilateral relations, he said.
Raffarin said his country was ready to increase cooperation with China to jointly cope with the global financial crisis and other challenges.
Raffarin and his delegation were here on a visit to China from Feb. 8 to Feb. 14 at the invitation of the Chinese People's Institute of Foreign Affairs.
