One of the new agreements Li Keqiang has overseen1 includes a number of collaboration2 agreements among Chinese and French nuclear power companies.
Among the agreements, French nuclear power giant Areva has entered into a memorandum3 of understanding with the China National Nuclear Corporation for the creation of a used nuclear fuel processing and recycling facility.
Another agreement between the two covers the entire fuel cycle: including extraction and conversion4 of uranium, fabrication of zirconium fuel assemblies, deconstruction and dismantling5, transportation and recycling.
The nuclear agreements are the latest in a long history of nuclear power ties between China and France.
The two countries began collaborating6 back in 1978, when then-Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping announced China's purchase of two nuclear power plants from France.
Zhou Dadi, vice7 director of the China Energy Research Institute, says China's first nuclear power plant, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, was built with French technology.
"China and France has a long history of nuclear power cooperation. French companies' nuclear technology has been playing an important role in China's construction and operation of nuclear power plants. Our long-term cooperation covers not only the technology, but also management exchanges. One the Chinese side, we will also help France develop their third-generation nuclear reactor8 EPR project."
Meanwhile, Chinese Premier9 Li Keqiang has also overseen the purchase of 45 Airbus A330's, as well as a deal for a provisional order for 30 more planes in the future.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who has also taken part in the signing ceremony, says they want to see ties between China and France expand when it comes to industrial capacity.
"That's also the case for aeronautics10. We are developing a large scale industrial partnership11. The agreement we signed a few minutes ago is on the firm sale of forty five A330 Airbus with an optional deal for another thirty aircrafts and another agreement will be signed in Toulouse on Thursday on the creation of an aircraft completion centre in Tianjin."
The Chinese and French governments have also announced plans to create a joint12 fund to support collaborations with third-parties markets in a variety of fields.
Feng Zhongping is the vice dean of China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations,.
He explains that third-party markets mainly refer to developing countries in Africa and Latin-America, especially the ones in initial stages of industrialization or with low urbanization levels.
"China is an industrial powerhouse and Europe is known for its most advanced technologies. Meanwhile, the developing countries have a strong demand in infrastructure13 updates, which provides a huge opportunity for China and the EU."
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's time in Paris comes on the heels of a stop in Belgium as part of his current tour in Europe.
