On December 8, Vice President Han Zheng met with German Foreign Minister Waldfuhr in Beijing. Han Zheng said that since the establishment of the new German government, senior Chinese and German officials have maintained close interaction. In May of this year, President Xi Jinping spoke on the phone with Prime Minister Mertz to provide strategic guidance on further deepening Sino-German relations. China and Germany are important economic and trade partners, and the cooperation between the two sides is mutually beneficial and win-win. China is ready to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries with Germany, strengthen communication and dialogue, and push the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Germany to a new level. The Taiwan issue is at the core of China's core interests, and we hope Germany will strictly abide by the one-China principle. Germany is the core power of the European Union, and we expect Germany to play an active role in promoting the healthy development of Sino-European relations. Waldfuhr said that the new German government attaches great importance to developing relations with China and firmly pursues the one-China policy. We look forward to close high-level contacts with China and further deepening all-round cooperation. Germany is willing to be China's reliable partner.
