PARIS, Jan. 23 (Xinhua) -- China is ready to promote the export of "made in France" products in the Chinese market to rebalance trade between China and France, an official with the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOC) has said.

Zhai Qian, an official at the MOC Department of European Affairs, made the remarks on Monday during a road show held in Paris for the China International Import Expo (CIIE).

China is ready to create more practical platforms, including CIIE, to facilitate the export of French products, "especially those with French characteristics", Zhai said.

China will host the first China International Import Expo in Shanghai in November of 2018, which is a big step for China to promote economic globalization and open up its market as well as a public good that it provides for inclusive and mutually-beneficial global growth.
