On May 10, 2023 local time, German Chancellor Schultz met with State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang in Berlin. Schultz asked Qin Gang to convey his sincere greetings to Chinese leaders. Schultz expressed great anticipation for the seventh round of government consultations between Germany and China to be held in Germany. This is an important consultation, and as the host country, Germany is actively preparing and is willing to work together with China to ensure positive results. In the context of world multipolarity, we should adhere to equality among all parties and work together to maintain world peace. The German side attaches great importance to China's role and influence, and is willing to strengthen communication with China on major issues such as the Ukrainian crisis. Qin Gang conveyed the warm greetings of Chinese leaders to Shultz. In the face of a turbulent and intertwined world, the international community should strengthen cooperation and work together to address challenges. My main purpose of this visit to Germany is to prepare for the seventh round of government consultations between the two countries. As a country with significant influence and a comprehensive strategic partner, strengthening dialogue and cooperation between China and Germany is conducive to injecting more stability, certainty, and positive energy into the world. China looks forward to working with Germany to achieve fruitful results in the consultations. Qin Gang said that on the Ukrainian issue, China's position is to promote peace and promote negotiations. Delaying the war will only cause more suffering. It is necessary to cease fire and end the war as soon as possible, achieve a political solution through dialogue, and find a way to long-term peace and stability in Europe. During his visit, Qin Gang also met with German Prime Minister's Foreign Affairs Advisor Prutner and held talks with German Foreign Minister Berber. (New News Agency)
