Looking back half a century, China Germany relations have shown sufficient vitality, endurance, tenacity and potential; Looking forward to the next 50 years, the two countries should look at the world, take a long-term view, forge ahead and strive to achieve new development in China Germany relations.
First, adhere to the general direction of bilateral relations from a strategic height. Both China and Germany are major countries with important influence. The sound development of bilateral relations is not only in the fundamental interests of the two countries and their peoples, but also conducive to world peace and stability. Both sides should continue to regard each other's development as an opportunity, maintain the fine tradition of high-level leadership, and guide the development of China Germany relations.

Second, adhere to a pragmatic attitude and actively promote mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries. Both China and Germany have benefited a lot from each other's economic development. China has become the largest trading partner of Germany for five consecutive years. Bilateral economic and trade cooperation has withstood the pressure of covid-19 pneumonia and achieved contrarian growth. The two sides should actively open up new areas of cooperation such as new energy, green and digital economy, and release the growth potential of service trade. We welcome German enterprises to give full play to their advantages and seize the new opportunities brought by China's opening up. We also hope that Germany will provide a fair business environment for Chinese enterprises to invest and start business in Germany. One belt, one road between China and Germany, is believed to be a key link between China and Germany. Cooperation between China and Germany in the framework of "one belt and one road" will benefit the countries along the border and promote the Asia Europe continent Unicom.
Third, we should work together to meet challenges and make new contributions to global governance. Both China and Germany are defenders of multilateralism and contributors to global development. We should increase coordination and cooperation in international affairs and find practical solutions for issues related to the common destiny of all mankind, such as combating the covid-19 pneumonia epidemic, promoting equitable vaccine distribution, promoting global recovery, especially in developing countries, coping with climate change, achieving poverty reduction and sustainable development. We should adhere to the resolution of regional hot spot issues through dialogue, follow and strengthen the democratic principle in international relations, and resolutely oppose all forms of hegemonic acts and cold war thinking. The development of all countries together is the real development. China is willing to work with Germany to promote the implementation of the UN 2030 agenda for sustainable development.
Xi Jinping stressed that China and the EU are two independent forces in the world and share broad strategic consensus and common interests. The two sides should adhere to the positioning of comprehensive strategic partnership, adhere to the principles of mutual respect, mutual benefit and win-win results, and ensure the healthy and stable development of China EU relations. It is hoped that Germany will continue to play a positive role in stabilizing China EU relations and continue to inject stability and positive energy into China EU relations.
