[Xi Jinping talks with German President Steinmeier] On the afternoon of October 30, President Xi Jinping held talks with German President Steinmeier, who was in China for a state visit, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Xi Jinping pointed out that since the establishment of diplomatic relations more than half a century ago, China-Germany relations have maintained high-level development and have always been friends of mutual trust and partners of mutual success. At present, the changes that have occurred in the world over the past century are accelerating, and the aspect of change and chaos has become more prominent. As the second and third largest economies in the world, China and Germany bear important responsibilities for the development of China-EU relations and the stable growth of the world economy. They should strengthen communication and collaboration, create a new cooperation paradigm of equality, mutual benefit, and strategic stability, and send a positive signal to the outside world that we should be open rather than closed, and that we should cooperate rather than confront. China is willing to work with Germany to open a new chapter in the all-round strategic partnership between the two countries and promote the construction of a more fair and reasonable global governance system. Xi Jinping emphasized that politics requires perseverance. China's policy toward Germany is coherent, stable, and predictable. It attaches great importance to Germany's status as a major power, always supports Germany's reunification and development, and is happy to see Germany play a greater role in European and international affairs. We hope that Germany will view China's development and cooperation with China with an open and positive attitude, adhere to a rational, pragmatic and friendly policy towards China, and adhere to mutual respect and equal treatment. This is also a valuable experience for the sustained and healthy development of China-Germany relations. Germany is a representative of advanced manufacturing and high-quality products. China is promoting Chinese-style modernization with high-quality development. The development strategies of both parties are consistent and there is broad space for cooperation. China firmly promotes high-level opening up to the outside world, continues to optimize the business environment, and welcomes companies from all over the world, including Germany, to delve into China and share the dividends of the ultra-large market. It is hoped that Germany will adhere to openness and inclusiveness, provide a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies in Germany, and make China-Germany pragmatic cooperation bigger and stronger. China is willing to cooperate with Germany in areas such as artificial intelligence, green and low-carbon, service trade, and digital economy to jointly enhance future competitiveness and add dimension and stamina to China-Germany cooperation. The people of China and Germany have excellent qualities of diligence, wisdom and perseverance, and both support China-Germany friendship. Both sides should support cultural, educational and artistic exchanges, facilitate personnel exchanges, promote people-to-people bonds, and create a good atmosphere for celebrating the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Germany next year. Xi Jinping pointed out that China always regards the EU as a partner and develops relations with the EU with sincerity and goodwill. History and reality have repeatedly proven that China-EU cooperation outweighs competition and consensus outweighs differences. The essence of China-EU economic and trade relations is complementary advantages and mutual benefit. The path to mutual success is mutual respect, mutual understanding and accommodation. The key to coordinated development is seeking common ground while reserving differences, adhering to integrity and innovating. China-EU relations have gone through ups and downs, and some problems that arise in the cooperation process are problems in development and contradictions in progress. As long as we adhere to the positioning of partnership and uphold the tone of equal dialogue, differences and problems can always be resolved and will not hinder the forward development of China-EU relations. It is hoped that the EU will work with China to meet each other halfway and jointly promote an equal and orderly world multipolarization and an inclusive and inclusive economic globalization. 习近平向施泰因迈尔介绍了中共二十届五中全会的情况。习近平指出，治国必先治党，党兴才能国强。持之以恒推进全面从严治党必将得到人民群众的广泛拥护和支持。中国共产党愿同包括德国在内的世界各国主要政党开展治国理政经验交流。 施泰因迈尔表示，过去25年间我8次来华访问，见证了中国的快速发展，每次中国都展现出崭新面貌。中国已成为政治影响力和经济科技实力都举足轻重的世界大国，德方对习近平主席领导中国取得的巨大发展成就充满敬意。德中关系紧密互利、富有活力，双方始终相互尊重、平等对话，各领域合作取得实实在在的成果，助力彼此发展。德方坚定奉行一个中国政策，对两国关系前景充满信心，愿同中方保持高层交往，加强贸易、科技、人工智能、环保等领域合作，促进人文交流。双方可以通过对话协商妥处经贸分歧，实现互利双赢，为世界作出表率。国际秩序承压，世界期待中国发挥更大作用。 Germany is willing to work with China to shoulder the responsibility of safeguarding world peace and development, safeguarding the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, upholding the authority of international law, supporting free trade and WTO rules, and opposing protectionism and trade wars. 会谈前，习近平和夫人彭丽媛在人民大会堂东门外广场为施泰因迈尔和夫人比登本德举行欢迎仪式。 When Steinmeier arrived, a salute lined up to salute.
