Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (5th L) holds talks with visiting French Prime Minister Francois Fillon (4th R) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Dec. 21.

"This is conducive to China-France and China-EU ties," Wen noted.

Fillon spoke highly of the successful 12th China-European Union summit, which took place in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, at the end of last month.

With the establishment of new EU institutions, the EU-China relations would achieve more stable growth, Fillon said.

Fillon also briefed Wen on his views on the two week-long Copenhagen conference, which concluded Saturday in the Danish capital after producing a non-legally binding document on climate change.

All parties should be forward-looking and respect and fulfill the Copenhagen Accord to jointly cope with climate change, and also promote economic growth and human progress, he noted.

Fillon was on his first official visit to China since taking office.
