"The Chinese people stand in firm solidarity with the French people," Wang said in a meeting with his French counterpart Jean-Marc Ayrault on the sidelines of the ongoing 11th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) Summit in Ulan Bator.
Ayrault, for his part, reaffirmed the high level of friendship between France and China and both countries' determination to tackle terrorism.
