Chapter 1010 Partnership

Speaking of which, apart from the more special "blood alliance", the highest level of China's diplomatic partnership is the "all-weather strategic partnership" - currently only "Pakistan" Pakistan enjoys this status.

"All-weather" means that no matter how the international situation changes, cooperation between the two sides in political, economic, military and other fields will not be affected.

This relationship is based on deep mutual trust and common interests and is a further sublimation of comprehensive strategic cooperation.

The second level is the "comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership", which covers consistent cooperation from the overall, overall and core interests, including Russia, Belarus, Greece and China's neighboring countries including Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and other neighboring countries (South Korea Except for the two American colonies of Japan and Japan).

The "comprehensive strategic partnership" established by Keluo and Huaxia, without the word "cooperation", is ranked at the third level. Its scope of cooperation is slightly inferior to the comprehensive strategic partnership, but it still covers politics, Economic, cultural and other fields.

Those with this kind of relationship include the European Union, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain and many other important countries and regional organizations. This partnership helps both parties coordinate and cooperate on their respective core interests and promote global governance and multilateral cooperation.

At a lower level, there are "strategic partnerships" - cooperation focused on specific fields or issues, such as energy, security, economy and trade, etc. Such as ASEAN, Canada, Nigeria, Serbia and other countries and regional organizations.

"All-round cooperative relationship" - focuses on coordination and cooperation in a wider range of areas, emphasizing the comprehensiveness and in-depth nature of cooperation. Such as India, South Korea, Türkiye, Afghanistan and other countries.

The rest are "other cooperative relationships". For example, the relationship between China and the United States is the "new type of major power relationship" - which generally means that we are major powers. Well, this is the relationship...

Of course, as a global hegemon and an emerging superpower, China's relationship with the United States is very complicated. Competition is inevitable, but cooperation is also inevitable in reality.

As for the relationship between China and Japan, it is only a "strategic relationship of mutual benefit"...

Well, there is neither "cooperation" nor "partnership". The general meaning is that we can do some business for "mutual benefit", and nothing else...

Coming back to Kolo, as the first African country to join the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, Kolo has a very high degree of trust in it from its cooperation and exchanges with China over the years, and is willing to deepen its relationship with China.

In addition to the invitation of Colo President Thomas Kabore to stay in China and participate in China's "National Day Reception" celebrating the 65th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Thomas Kabore also took the initiative to mention to the other party that Colo hopes to participate in the AIIB is in the process of being established and has become one of the first batch of “intended founding members” of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

However, for his proposal, China just said that it needs to wait for the time being. After all, the full name of the AIIB is the "Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank" and it is currently targeting Asian countries.

In the original time and space, less than a month later, on October 24, the first batch of 21 intended founding members, including China, India, and Li Jiapo, signed the agreement to establish the AIIB, all of which were Asian countries.

Of course, China also said that if the AIIB accepts African member states in the future, Kolo, who applied first, will become the first member.

However, it is still more than a year before the official establishment of the AIIB. It is still in the early stages of preparations for the AIIB.

If Barron were here, he might even directly propose to remove India and add Colo - after all, it seems that all the organizations and alliances that India has joined will not go so smoothly...

As the saying goes, "It's not enough, eh eh..."

…

"Although we successfully acquired 20% of the shares of EDF, the government is still discussing the sale of shares of Paris Airports Group and Suez Group..."

Ashley Weber was wearing a violet shirt, leaning on the sofa lazily, and said to Barron:

"It is true that Uncle Hollande hopes to save the government's financial constraints by selling state-owned shares, but if he opens such a big hole all at once, there will be a lot of opposition."

"We're not in a hurry, are we?"

Barron held her hand and said lightly:

"The French government is worried now."

The current market value of EDF Group is around 59 billion euros (equivalent to 75 billion U.S. dollars). However, in the bidding last month, the European Wealth Fund and United Energy Group successfully won the French EDF Group with a bid of 12.05 billion euros. 20% stake in the power company.

This time, for their bid for EDF shares, their consulting company was William Weber Capital.

It can be said that this time for the acquisition of shares of EDF Group, Ashley Weber also used many of her contacts. For this purpose, she also obtained a large order for William Weber Capital's merger and acquisition consulting business.

In addition, Barron is also interested in Paris Airports Group and France's top water group-Suez Group.

But as Ashley said, Hollande is also very tempted to sell part of the shares of these two companies. After all, it is not all privatization. It is just to obtain urgently needed funds for the French government by selling part of the shares. .

But to do this, we must first eliminate the current opposition.

After all, relatively speaking, the profits of the French Electricity Company have declined slightly in the past year.

And at this time, their nuclear power project in Britain also requires huge capital investment. In this case, selling part of the shares to raise funds and introducing partners to optimize the management of the French Electricity Group is something that everyone is happy to see.

But the Paris Airport Group and the Suez Group are still profitable and stable public service companies. The sale of shares of these companies will have something to say to the opposition parties and parliamentarians.

"But don't worry, we are also doing our work. Some politicians who are closely related to us will express their support one after another. I believe that before the end of the year, the sale of shares of these two companies will be finally decided."

"I believe in your ability, baby."

This is not Barron's polite words. From beginning to end, Ashley Weber has shown flexible skills and superb abilities in commercial mergers and acquisitions in France.

Choosing her as his partner is also something Barron is very grateful for.

Of course, now the relationship between the two people has a closer connection than partners.
