On the afternoon of October 30, President Xi Jinping met at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing with Swiss Confederation President Parmelin, who was in China for a working visit. Xi noted that since the establishment of diplomatic ties, China and Switzerland have embraced mutual success and the courage to pioneer, demonstrating through concrete results the cooperative spirit of "equality, innovation, and mutual benefit," and have become a model of exchanges between countries of different sizes and social systems. The two sides should respect each other, treat each other as equals, and strengthen exchanges at all levels and policy coordination. China is accelerating the development of new quality productive forces, steadily expanding institutional opening up, and is ready to turn the Chinese market into a market for the world and a market shared by all. The two sides should adhere to mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, advance the implementation of the open cooperation roadmap, strengthen innovation cooperation, focus on fostering cooperation in emerging industries such as the digital economy, green energy storage, and artificial intelligence, build high-quality industrial and supply chains featuring collaborative innovation and shared interests, and jointly promote the upward and benevolent development of artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity.
