22 Sept 09:35 Key points summarised by AI

French President Emmanuel Macron pressed Chinese President Xi Jinping to use China's influence to "bring Russia to its senses" over the Ukraine war and facilitate peace negotiations.
Macron's state visit aims to dissuade China from supporting Russia's invasion, highlighting Beijing's potential "major role" in finding a path to peace, despite China's official neutrality and Xi's recent reaffirmation of ties with Moscow.
Discussions also encompassed the broader complexities of EU-China relations, including crucial economic partnerships, trade imbalances, and the escalating tensions surrounding Taiwan following a recent US-Taiwan meeting.
