China pledged to deepen all-round Sino-French cooperation and lift bilateral trade relations to new heights, said Chinese Vice-President Zeng Qinghong in Chengdu Saturday.

Zeng made the remark at an Sino-French economic seminar held in Chengdu, capital of Southwest China’s Sichuan Province, saying the two countries would cement cooperation in aviation, spaceflight, telecommunication, transportation, energy, agriculture, environmental protection and small and medium-sized enterprises.

French President Jacques Chirac attended the seminar. Chirac, accompanied by a large business delegation, arrived in Chengdu Friday for a five-day state visit to China.

China and France enjoy economic "mutual complementarity" and large trade potential, said Zeng, adding that French investment in China and cooperation would bring "mutual benefits and win-win results" to businesses of the two countries.
