 "French President Hollande to visit China next week")
French President Francois Hollande will make a state visit to China on November 2-3 at the invitation of his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, with climate change high on the agenda, Hollande's office has announced.
The French leader will also visit South Korea on a visit marking the 130th anniversary of French-Korean diplomatic ties, his office announced yesterday.
Hollande announced last month that he planned to visit China in order to launch a bilateral appeal "that we work to make a success of the climate conference," to be held from November 30-December 11 in Paris.
The overarching goal is to limit global warming to two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) over pre-Industrial Revolution levels.
Hollande has stressed the importance of the role of China, which is the most populous nation on Earth and the most polluting.
