Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized the need for strengthened Sino-German collaboration to counter unilateralism during high-level talks with German counterpart Johann Wadephul at the Munich Security Conference on February 13, 2026. The meeting comes as global tensions rise over trade disputes and regional security challenges.
Wang, representing the Chinese mainland, called for both nations to "firmly uphold the UN Charter's principles" and replace competitive zero-sum mentalities with cooperative global governance frameworks. "As major responsible powers, we must serve as stabilizers in this era of uncertainty," stated Wang, highlighting China's commitment to multilateral solutions.
The discussion marked one of the most significant bilateral exchanges since Germany's new coalition government took office late last year. Analysts suggest the dialogue could pave the way for coordinated approaches to energy security and supply chain resilience ahead of April's G20 ministerial meetings.
