Solid Sino-German ties

Surging trade, investment and range of cooperation with top European partner

China-Germany cooperation is becoming more pragmatic and solid, Ambassador to China Michael Clauss told China Daily in an exclusive interview ahead of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's visit from July 6 to 8.

"Politically, we always see frequent high-level mutual visits. Economically, we can see fast growing mutual trade and investment, and the building of a yuan trading center in Frankfurt. We also have rapidly increasing numbers of tourists and other people-to-people exchanges," said the ambassador.
