As part of the celebration marking the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between France and China, a French sweet foods media reception was held on April 23 in the French embassy in Beijing.
French Ambassador Sylvie Bermann and Fleur Pellerin, minister for Foreign Trade, the Promotion of Tourism and French Nationals Abroad, spoke at the event.
