Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Beijing.
Xi said China and Europe share common interests on safeguarding the basic rules of multilateral trading system. As world's major economic entities and major countries with global influence, China and Germany should demonstrate responsibility, jointly uphold international fairness and justice, and safeguard free trade and multilateralism, he said.
China will match its words with deeds to expand opening up, Xi said. China's greater opening up is gradually extending from the manufacturing sector to financial and service sectors, which will bring more new opportunities to Germany and the rest of the world, he said.
Both parties should be open-minded and foresighted, Xi said, calling for strengthened cooperation in emerging fields such as autonomous driving, new energy vehicles, intelligent manufacturing, artificial intelligence, digitalization and 5G to jointly cultivate and explore future markets.
China is accelerating the opening of its financial and service sectors, and welcomes the German side's investment in these sectors, Xi said.
Merkel said Germany-China dialog and cooperation are extensive and China is Germany's largest trading partner. Cooperation between the two countries is developing in a better direction.
Germany is very pleased to share China's achievements in expanding its opening-up policy and is willing to continue to increase investment in China, expand cooperation areas and promote people-to-people and cultural exchanges, said Merkel.
She said unilateralism and protectionism also have a negative impact on Germany. All parties should work to resolve differences and frictions through dialog and consultation.
The German side is willing to strengthen communication and coordination in international affairs with China in the spirit of multilateralism and free trade. Germany is willing to play a constructive role in the development of EU-China relations, said Merkel.
Merkel is paying an official visit to China from Friday to Saturday at the invitation of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang. It is her 12th trip to China as German chancellor.
