French President Francois Hollande arrived in Beijing on Thursday for a two-day visit. It is Hollande’s first trip to China, and the first time China’s new leadership is receiving the leader of a major European country. Hollande was scheduled to meet President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang  and chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress Zhang Dejiang. The French President’s visit is expected to boost economic ties between China and France while promoting French products in China, especially agriculture produce.  Both are expected to sign business deals in waster treatment, automobile and Airbus airplanes.
