(ANSA-AFP) - PARIS, MAY 6 - French President Emmanuel Macron
was on Monday set to warn Chinese leader Xi Jinping against
backing Russia in the conflict over Ukraine but also seek to
enlist his help in finding an end to the war. Xi is making a
state visit to France marking 60 years of diplomatic relations
between France and China. The trip is his first to Europe since
2019 and will also see him visit Serbia and Hungary later in the
week. But Xi's choice of France as the sole major European power
on his itinerary indicates the importance the leader of the
one-party Communist state of more than 1.4 billion people
accords to Macron as an EU powerbroker over two years into
Russia's invasion of Ukraine. (ANSA-AFP).
