China-Germany All-Round Strategic Partnership
Xi Jinping made his first state visit to Germany in March 2014. The leaders of the two states agreed to elevate their strategic partnership established in 2010 to all-round strategic partnership, opening a new chapter in bilateral relations. Since then the two sides have maintained high-level exchanges and expanded bilateral cooperation platforms.
Xi made a second state visit to Germany in July 2017. He and German Chancellor Angela Merkel reached consensus to increase mutual political trust, enhance pragmatic cooperation, boost cultural and people-to-people exchanges, and engage in more coordination on multilateral occasions to further advance bilateral ties.
To this end, Xi proposed China and Germany increase high-level exchanges, leverage bilateral dialogue mechanisms, and accommodate each other's core interests and major concerns; seek common ground while reserving differences, properly handle disputes on the basis of mutual respect and equality, and enhance political mutual trust. They should follow an open, innovative and win-win path, conduct strategic cooperation, support their enterprises in synergizing "Made in China 2025" and Germany's "Industry 4.0," conduct more pragmatic cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, and expand common interests. The two countries should fully utilize the High-level People- to-People Exchange Dialogue Mechanism to boost cooperation in education, science and technology, culture, political parties, think tanks, media and tourism, and support personnel exchanges. They also need to step up bilateral coordination and cooperation at the China-EU level, or within international bodies and multilateral frameworks such as the United Nations and the G20, and maintain timely communication over potential flashpoints relating to international and regional security, so as to make a proper contribution to regional stability and world peace, healthy world economic development, and building a community with a shared future for humanity.
