Li calls on Merkel to boost high-tech exports to China

Premier Li Keqiang called on Germany to expand its exports of high-tech goods to China and lower the threshold of market access for Chinese companies entering the country.

On his fourth visit to Germany as premier, Li made the proposal on Monday as he met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin before the fifth China-Germany intergovernmental consultation.

Facing uncertainties in the international context, China and Germany should send a clear signal of supporting free trade and safeguarding international order, based on fairness and justice, to promote the growth of global trade and the recovery of the world economy, Li said.
