Taking the development of electric cars as an example, Sino-German cooperation in this field not only covered key technologies such as electrochemistry, battery, electric driving systems, but also included technological standards, market entry and the development of smart transportation, he said.
"This is an all-round cooperation," Wan said, "Products for the future should be jointly developed so that they can cater to the demands in both German markets and Chinese markets."
He said exchanges and communication were important foundations for future cooperation, as intergovernmental consultation could enable the two countries to candidly discuss strategies, cooperation and policy details.
Wan also encouraged exchanges between young people of the two countries to achieve better mutual understanding.
"I lived in Germany for over ten years to study and work," Wan recalled. "Over more than 30 years since China introduced the policy of reform and opening up, there have been tens of thousands of people like me who came to Germany to study and work, including more than 30,000 Chinese students who are studying here at present."
"Every one of them can contribute to China-Germany friendship, which I believe is the most important foundation of cooperation between our two countries in the future," he said.
