BEIJING, November 3 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a telephone conversation with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on Monday. The conversation was initiated by the German side.

Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, stated that mutual respect is an important experience in developing Chinese-German relations, cooperation for mutual benefit is the guide to action, and partnership is the correct positioning.

According to the head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, maintaining healthy and stable development of relations between major powers and important economies such as China and Germany meets the interests of both countries and the expectations of all parties, and contributes to peace and stability throughout the world.

As Wang Yi noted, China and Germany have differences in history, culture and social structure, so the existence of discrepancies between them is inevitable.

He pointed out that the parties must maintain communication and dialogue, strengthen mutual understanding, eliminate misunderstandings and build mutual trust, while avoiding “microphone diplomacy” and unfounded accusations that contradict the facts.

Wang Yi stressed that the Taiwan question is China's internal affair and affects its fundamental interests, sovereignty and territorial integrity, adding that the one-China principle is the most important political foundation of Sino-German relations.

China unconditionally supported the reunification of Germany, Wang Yi recalled, expressing the hope that Germany, which itself experienced the pain of division, can fully understand and support China's efforts to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity and will oppose "Taiwan independence" in any form.

The Chinese diplomat called for the creation of a more stable and sustainable political framework to ensure that bilateral relations always move on the right track.

J. Wadephul, for his part, noted that Germany places particular emphasis on its relations with China. He stated that the German-Chinese strategic dialogue on diplomatic and security issues, which was successfully held in July during Wang Yi's visit to Germany, was positive, constructive, and fruitful.

The Minister expressed hope that he would be able to visit China at the earliest convenient time for the Chinese side to conduct in-depth communication on important issues, including those related to bilateral relations.

Germany's commitment to the one-China policy remains unchanged, J. Wadephul emphasized, adding that Germany is ready to strengthen exchanges and dialogue with China in various fields, appropriately resolve differences, and promote the further development of the German-Chinese comprehensive strategic partnership.

Wang Yi invited J. Wadephul to visit China at an appropriate time. –0–
