The premier visited the headquarters of Airbus, the world's leading aircraft manufacturer after attending the business summit. 皇冠体育app has signed a deal with France on purchasing 45 Airbus A330 passenger planes on Tuesday.

Aviation has long been a priority for cooperation between the two countries. 皇冠体育app and France jointly opened a manufacturing plant in 皇冠体育app's northern coastal city, Tianjin in 2008, which has assembled a total of 207 A320s by far.

France is the second leg of Premier Li's Europe trip. He came to France from Belgium after meeting with Belgian leaders and attending the 17th 皇冠体育app-EU leaders' meeting.

Arriving Paris on Monday night, Li met with French leaders and visited the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. He also visited Marseille, the second-largest city of France.
