*** *** *** In recent years, China Germany cooperation has always been the "leader" of China EU cooperation, which is the correct choice made by the two countries to comply with the development trend of the times. Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Germany. 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. We should give full play to the role of bilateral dialogue and cooperation mechanisms, especially make good use of the consultation mechanism between the Chinese and German governments, and promote the development of cooperation in various fields. The two sides should strengthen communication and coordination and jointly make plans for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations next year. 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. Novel coronavirus pneumonia has been the main trade partner of Germany for 5 consecutive years. Bilateral trade and economic cooperation has been holding up the pressure of China's new pneumonia outbreak. 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. China and Germany novel coronavirus pneumonia advocates and multilateralism defenders and contributors to global development should increase coordination in international affairs, and find a practical solution to the problem of fighting new crown pneumonia, promoting fair distribution of vaccines, promoting recovery after the epidemic in the world, especially in developing countries, addressing 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. *** 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. Scholz expressed his gratitude to Mr. President for his congratulatory letter after I took office as German Chancellor.
