Guo said, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Germany more than 50 years ago, the relations between the two countries have always maintained a positive direction. China and Germany should cooperate with each other with an open and inclusive attitude, jointly leverage complementary advantages, and create new growth drivers for economic development and cooperation at the local level. Guo also introduced Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era and the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress in light of the concerns of guests from other countries.

Wu said, the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a cooperation platform open to all parties. It is hoped that Germany and Europe will view and participate in the construction of the BRI with a more positive and open attitude. The German side is welcome to achieve mutual benefit and win-win cooperation in practical cooperation with the Chinese side.

Scharping and others said, the economies of Germany and China are highly complementary. The German business community is willing to further strengthen cooperation with the Chinese side in economy, trade, science and technology, and jointly respond to global challenges.
