French President Emmanuel Macron urged China's leader Xi Jinping to work with G7 countries towards rules-based economic governance, during a meeting in Beijing on Thursday. "During France's presidency of the G7 next year, we also want to initiate a dialogue with the major players, foremost among them China, on global economic imbalances and global governance," Macron told Xi. "Our two countries have a role to play in working with other partners to lay the foundations for a more balanced, fairer and more robust economic governance system based on rules rather than the law of the strongest," he said.
