[Wang Yi spoke on the phone with German Foreign Minister Waldfoyer] On September 21, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Foreign Minister, had a phone call with German Foreign Minister Waldfoyer on the 21st.
Wang Yi said that China and Germany are the world's major economies and all-round strategic partners. Faced with the current impact of unilateralism and anti-globalization, it is necessary for both sides to strengthen strategic communication, enhance mutual trust, deepen practical cooperation, release a positive signal that China and Germany jointly safeguard multilateralism and free trade, enhance the outside world's confidence in the development of China-Germany relations, and also play a constructive role in the development of China-EU relations. Strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Germany is in the interests of both sides and is the right common choice. We must cherish the progress made so far, promote China-Germany cooperation to be deeper and more substantial, and continue to achieve new results.
Wang Yi pointed out that the one-China principle is the political foundation of China-Germany relations. It is hoped that Germany will cherish and consolidate the tradition of mutual trust and friendship between China and Germany, abide by the one-China principle, take practical actions to safeguard China-Germany relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and create necessary conditions for high-level exchanges between the two sides. China and the EU are comprehensive strategic partners, and China and the EU should not engage in a trade war. China has always advocated that both sides meet each other halfway and find solutions to each other's concerns through dialogue and consultation. It is hoped that Germany will maintain a rational and pragmatic attitude, play an active role in the EU, and promote the EU to adhere to free trade, abandon protectionism, and adhere to the right path of open cooperation, dialogue and consultation.
Wadful said that Germany-China relations have maintained a good momentum of development in recent years. Germany looks forward to further intensifying high-level exchanges with China, holding a new round of Germany-China government consultations, deepening practical cooperation in economy and trade and other fields, and continuously improving the level of Germany-China relations. Germany firmly adheres to the one-China policy and this position will not change. The current international situation is facing a series of new threats and challenges. China is expected to exert its influence in international and regional affairs and explore solutions with Germany. Germany supports Europe and China in properly resolving differences through dialogue and is willing to play an active role in this regard.
Wang Yi said that the important consensus reached by China and Germany today is to adhere to dialogue and consultation to resolve China-EU economic and trade issues.
The two sides also exchanged views on the situation in Iran and the crisis in Ukraine. Wang Yi reiterated China's principled position, saying that China will only do things that are conducive to peace and is always committed to promoting peace and talks. We are willing to continue to strengthen communication and coordination with the European side and make joint efforts. (Xinhua News Agency)
