Hey everyone! This weekend at the 20th G20 Summit, Chinese premier Li Qiang sat down with German chancellor Friedrich Merz for a power chat on leveling up China–Germany relations 🤝. The big goal? More dialogue, mutual respect, and win-win collabs across trade, tech, and beyond.
They’ve come a long way since setting up diplomatic ties 53 years ago. This year also marks the 50th anniversary of China–EU relations, so both sides are all about a longer-term vision 🌍.
Here’s the game plan:
- Boost strategic communication and respect each other’s core interests 🔐
- Expand practical cooperation in new energy, intelligent manufacturing, biomed, hydrogen tech, and smart driving 🚗💡
- Keep free trade and multilateralism alive via the UN, G20, and WTO 🌐
Germany’s keen to keep it rational and pragmatic, focusing on common interests and cutting through obstacles. And China’s ready to be an open partner for innovative projects that spark industrial transformation 🔄.
At the end of the day, both leaders want to turn global challenges into shared opportunities—shaping a sustainable, high-quality all-round strategic partnership for the next era 🚀.
