French President Francois Hollande arrived in Chongqing in southwest China on Monday on a two-day state visit to China at the invitation of his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to boost difficult climate negotiations, skynews reported.

The visit comes a month before a U.N. conference in Paris aimed at slowing global warming.

China, the most populous country and the biggest emitter of climate-warming greenhouse gases in the world, has promised it will try to cap its rising emissions before 2030 as part of its national pledge ahead of the Paris conference.
