A senior Chinese legislator attended the Paris Peace Forum and other related activities on Sunday.

At the invitation of the French side, Ji Bingxuan, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China, attended the opening ceremony of the Paris Peace Forum on behalf of the Chinese side.

Ji presented a recently-published book of Chinese President Xi Jinping's discourses on "promoting the building of a community with a shared future for humanity" to the Peace Library set up by the forum.

Ji said that President Xi's proposition on building a community of a shared future for humanity has profound connotations, and the proposition has contributed the "Chinese wisdom" and "Chinese solutions" to promoting world peace and development as well as the reform of the global governance system and has been widely recognized by the international community.

When visiting an exhibition dedicated to the Belt and Road Initiative at the Paris Peace Forum, Ji said that the Belt and Road are channels for trade and bridges for civilization, and have opened up a new chapter for mutual learning and jointly building a community of a shared future for humanity.

The Chinese side welcomes France's participation in the Belt and Road construction and is willing to work together with France to advance bilateral cooperation constantly.

On Sunday, Ji also attended the French government-organized commemoration ceremony for the 100th anniversary of the Armistice of World War I.
