Looming from a cliff of Moganshan 60 kilometers from Hangzhou, a French flag at the Naked Castle Hotel welcomed guests to the Bastille Day Business Dinner on July 15th.

Hosted by AEROLUXUS, a Hangzhou-based high-end training company for three consecutive years, the dinner brought together over 80 international business leaders and guests from other fields.

Despite the international economic challenges, China and France are actively seeking cooperation. Franck Dubarry, the founder of AEROLUXUS, hoped the dinner to forge stronger bonds between companies from both sides with the support of the Consulate General of France in Shanghai.

"We are pushing hard in the Yangtze River Economic Belt on the basis of well-established businesses in Shanghai and Zhejiang," remarked Benoît Guidée, Consul General of France in Shanghai. In education, he reminded the guests to keep an eye on the design academy jointly established by China Academy of Art and French design schools, which is to be unveiled in Hangzhou this September.

Alliance Français Hangzhou is one of the other Sino-French educational projects and was landed by the French Embassy in China and Zhejiang University of Industry and Commerce. Winners from the recently concluded French singing competition held by the Alliance were also invited to the event to perform.

It is worth mentioning that such frequent intercultural exchanges have advanced artists in fusing each other's cultural aspects, like abstract artist Pascal Maljette and photographer Dylan Rimpault from France, and Chinese artist Xia Jiqing, the owner of Hangzhou L'amour Cafe. Their generous donations in the charity auction session were bid at good prices.

According to AEROLUXUS, the fund raised will support the schooling of underprivileged children via Fang Fang Education Project, whose founder Françoise Grenot-Wang is a remarkable French woman that devoted her lifetime to charitable causes in China.

"While international businesses run at a slow pace, events like this bring hopes," said a guest.

"It's important that the Bastille Day Business Dinner is happening this year," said Benoît Guidée, "and that we are all looking positively to the future."
