Chinese President Xi Jinping announced on Sunday his intention to hold discussions with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, concerning bilateral relations and key regional and global matters during his official visit to France.

Earlier in the day, China Central Television (CCTV) reported that the Chinese leader had landed in Paris.

"During the visit, I will have an in-depth exchange of views with President Emmanuel Macron on the development of China-France and China-EU relations, as well as current important international and regional issues," Xi said in a statement published by CCTV.

The visit comes amid heightened tensions over China's competitive leverage over Europe, especially in the production of electric vehicles.
