多边主义是中欧共同坚持的外交理念与发展战略，尽管中欧双方对多边主义的理解存在差异，实践方式也有所不同，但都致力于维护多边主义和多极世界格局。在美国试图重新将世界带入阵营对抗的大背景下，多边主义依然是弥合被美国所分裂的世界格局的一种可选方式。中欧双方在全球治理改革和全球性挑战、可持续发展、经贸合作、教育与文化交流等多边发展议程方面仍有许多合作空间和潜力，可在充分了解的基础上加大和扩展多边主义合作的深度与广度，深化发展中欧全面战略伙伴关系。法国作为欧洲战略自主的主要倡导者与多极世界的支持者，也在其间扮演着十分重要的角色。
Multilateralism is a diplomatic concept and development strategy shared by China and Europe. Despite the differences in their understanding of multilateralism and in the way they practise it，both China and Europe are committed to the maintenance of multilateralism and a multipolar world. Against the backdrop of the U.S. attempts to bring the world back into confrontation，multilateralism remains an alternative way to heal the world pattern divided by the U.S. China and Europe still have much space and potential for cooperation on multilateral development agendas such as global governance reform and global challenges，sustainable development，economic and trade cooperation，education and cultural exchanges. France，as a major advocate of European strategic autonomy and a supporter of a multipolar world，also plays a very important role in this regard.
