2022-10-11
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Germany. In an exclusive interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, Chinese Ambassador to Germany Wu Ken said that he was willing to work with Germany to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, take a global perspective, look at the long term, forge ahead, and play a stable, constructive and leading role in China Germany relations to achieve new development in China Germany EU relations and maintain world peace and tranquility. Wu Zhen said that since the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Germany, bilateral relations have made great progress, and exchanges and cooperation in various fields have been constantly deepened and expanded. Since the establishment of the new German government, the leaders of the two countries have maintained close strategic communication and guided the development of China Germany relations. "It can be said that the two sides have gone through an extraordinary path of common development and mutual achievements, and become a successful model of mutually beneficial cooperation between countries with different social systems, historical cultures and development stages," he said. Wu Jian said that economic and trade cooperation is known as the "ballast stone" of China Germany relations. Germany is one of the first western developed countries to establish joint ventures in China and carry out scientific and technological cooperation with China since the founding of New China. After China's reform and opening up, the first "foreign factory director" was a German. Today, the daily trade volume between the two countries is 2.4 times that of the whole year at the beginning of diplomatic relations. Germany is not only China's most important trade partner in Europe, but also China has become Germany's largest trade partner for six consecutive years. He said that not long ago, the first unit of BASF Group's integrated base project in Zhanjiang, Guangdong was put into operation; At the same time, Germany is also becoming a hot spot for Chinese enterprises to invest. Ningde Times, Guoxuan Hi Tech, Honeycomb Energy, etc. have successively settled in Germany. This shows that even in the context of globalization encountering headwinds, China and Germany still have strong willingness and demand for cooperation. Wu said that China and Germany have established more than 70 dialogue mechanisms including government consultations, 103 pairs of friendly provincial (municipal) relations, and extensive exchanges covering strategic, financial, people to people and cultural, science and education, health and other fields, giving more vitality and creativity to bilateral relations. More than 150 universities in China have German majors. More than 30000 people in Germany study Chinese. More than 50000 Chinese students and scholars constitute the largest group of overseas students in Germany. This Mid Autumn Festival, Wu Jian was invited to attend the Sino German Youth Cloud Concert held by the German Bole Chinese Choir. Teenagers of the two countries cross mountains and seas, "cloud" on the same stage, sing beautiful songs in each other's language, jointly celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Germany, and express their hopes and blessings for friendship between the two countries. "I think this is the most vivid portrayal of China Germany friendship and the hope of the future of bilateral relations," Wu said. Wu said that developing China Germany relations on a high level is like building a skyscraper. Over the past 50 years, the two countries have worked together to lay a solid foundation for mutual respect, so that towering buildings have sprung up. In the future, facing the complex international situation and endless risks and challenges, the two sides need to consolidate their foundation and jointly withstand the wind and rain. "I believe that as long as the two sides firmly grasp the main tone of dialogue and cooperation, enhance correct understanding of each other, properly manage differences, and expand common interests on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, the skyscraper of China Germany cooperation will stand firmly," he said. Wu Jian stressed that China Germany cooperation is not only the "leader" of China EU cooperation
