The current era is full of challenges and increasing risks, Xi said, adding that unilateralism and protectionism pose a serious threat to world peace and stability, and no country can be immune from it.
习近平指出，当前，我们正处在一个挑战层出不穷、风险日益增多的时代，单边主义、保护主义严重威胁世界和平稳定，任何国家都不能独善其身。

As two responsible major countries, China and Germany need to strengthen strategic communication, coordination and cooperation to address the common challenges facing mankind more than ever.

Xi said Merkel's visit to China has reached many economic and trade cooperation results, which proves China matches its words with deeds to expand opening-up. He added that the Chinese market is large enough and will grow larger as China develops, which will bring more new opportunities to Germany and the rest of the world.

"Auto industrial cooperation is a good example of mutual benefit between the two countries," he said.

Both parties should be open-minded and foresighted, Xi said, calling for strengthened cooperation in emerging fields such as autonomous driving, new energy vehicles, intelligent manufacturing, artificial intelligence, digitalization and 5G to jointly cultivate and explore future markets.
双方应保持开放前瞻意识，在自动驾驶、新能源汽车、智能制造、人工智能、数字化和5G等新兴领域加强合作，共同培育和开拓未来市场。

China is accelerating the opening of its financial and service sectors, and welcomes the German side's investment in these sectors, Xi said.
中方正在加快开放金融和服务业，欢迎德方投资。

As Merkel will visit Wuhan, Xi also welcomed German enterprises to participate in the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Xi called on both countries to strive for broad participation and support of the two peoples, especially young people, in the development of China-Germany relations.
要厚植人文和民意基础，争取两国民众特别是年轻人广泛参与和支持中德关系发展。

He called on China and Germany to demonstrate responsibility, jointly maintain international fairness and justice, safeguard free trade and multilateralism, and strengthen cooperation on climate change and cooperation with Africa.
要共同展现责任担当，维护国际公平正义，捍卫自由贸易和多边主义，在气候变化、对非合作等方面加强合作。

Merkel said Germany-China dialogue and cooperation are extensive and China is Germany's largest trading partner. Cooperation between the two countries is developing in a better direction.
默克尔表示，德中对话合作广泛深入，中国是德国最大贸易伙伴。两国合作正沿着更好的方向发展。

Germany is very pleased to share China's achievements in expanding its opening-up policy and is willing to continue to increase investment in China, expand cooperation areas and promote people-to-people and cultural exchanges, said Merkel.
德国很高兴能够分享中国扩大开放政策成果，愿继续加大对华投资，拓展合作领域，促进人文交流。

She said unilateralism and protectionism also have a negative impact on Germany. All parties should work to resolve differences and frictions through dialogue and consultation.
单边主义、保护主义也给德国带来不利影响。各方应致力于通过对话协商妥善解决分歧和摩擦。

The German side is willing to strengthen communication and coordination in international affairs with China in the spirit of multilateralism and free trade. Germany is willing to play a constructive role in the development of EU-China relations, said Merkel.
