German, Chinese Leaders Discuss Bilateral Ties
(MENAFN) German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Chinese Leader Xi Jinping reaffirmed their dedication to mutual collaboration during a telephone discussion on Friday, based on a statement released by a government spokesperson.
Their conversation included a focus on pressing global matters such as the conflict in Ukraine.
Government spokesperson Stefan Kornelius stated that “both leaders emphasized their willingness to work together in partnership to overcome global challenges,” describing the exchange as the first official call between Merz and Xi since Merz assumed office earlier this month.
Kornelius noted that “the Chancellor and President Xi emphasized the significance of economic relations between Germany and China,” with Merz highlighting the critical value of “fair competition and reciprocity.”
This suggests a shared interest in sustaining balanced trade dynamics and ensuring equitable economic practices.
