China-Germany ties a model for cooperation

President Xi Jinping's on-going state visit to Germany, which coincides with the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Germany, is expected to not only lift bilateral ties to a new level, but also help revive the trend of globalization and trade liberalization.

With the world facing growing uncertainties, the cooperation between China and Germany has assumed global significance, as greater interaction between the two countries will give a shot in the arm not only to China's relationship with Europe as a whole, but also the global economy.

Over the years, China and Germany have set up more than 70 dialogue and cooperation mechanisms covering a wide range of fields, and, thanks to their joint efforts, their practical cooperation is now "robust", as Xi noted on his arrival, and it plays an exemplary role in boosting Europe's cooperation with China.
