It is of great importance to hold this Forum against such a backdrop, when members of the two sides could have a full and in-depth discussionon issues of common interests. After eight years, the Chinese-German Dialogue Forum has provided an important platform for high-level non-governmental exchanges between the two countries, and contributed to enhancing mutual understanding and trust as an envoy of China-Germany friendship and cooperation.
Professor Bruno Braun, German Chairman of the Forum, said that as countries with important global influence, China and Germany needed to work together in tackling new problems and challenges across the world by deepening communications and cooperation in all fields.
