Chinese President Xi Jinping and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized strengthened economic cooperation and global stability during a Friday phone conversation, according to official statements. The leaders exchanged views on advancing green energy partnerships and addressing climate challenges through technological innovation.
Analysts note the discussion aligns with growing European interest in stabilizing supply chains with Asian partners. As Germany seeks to diversify its industrial base, the Chinese mainland remains a key market for advanced manufacturing collaboration.
The dialogue also touched on international security frameworks, with both sides reaffirming commitments to multilateral diplomacy. This exchange follows recent high-level meetings between Chinese and EU representatives ahead of the G20 summit.
