The German Foreign Minister stated that Germany hopes to maintain close economic and trade relations and good cooperation with China, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun presided over the regular press conference on October 24th. At the meeting, a reporter asked: German Foreign Minister Walder stated in an interview with Reuters that he will depart for China on October 26th, which is his first visit to China as Foreign Minister. Foreign Minister Walder stated that the German government hopes to maintain close economic and trade relations and good cooperation with China, and decoupling is not the right strategy. What is China's comment on this?

Guo Jiakun stated that China has taken note of Foreign Minister Wade Fur's statement regarding this matter. China and Germany are comprehensive strategic partners. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations 53 years ago, the relationship between China and Germany has steadily developed, and the deep integration of industries between the two countries has greatly assisted their respective development.

Guo Jiakun stated that the current international situation is turbulent and intertwined. As major powers and major economies in the world, China and Germany should set an example for shaping a new type of major power relationship, adhere to mutual respect, equal treatment, and win-win cooperation, and make greater contributions to promoting world peace and development with the stability of China Germany relations. This is also the common aspiration of the two peoples, including the German business community. Due to differences in historical culture, social systems, and development stages, it is normal for China and Germany to have different views on certain issues. Both sides can enhance understanding and mutual trust through frank communication. We hope that the German side will uphold an objective and fair attitude, take a positive and rational view of China, work together with China in the same direction, and ensure that China Germany relations move forward on the right track.
