German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said Friday in Berlin that the official visit by Chinese VicePresident Hu Jintao to Germany is another milestone in solidifying German-Chinese relations.
Speaking at a joint press conference after their meeting, Schroeder said they reached agreement on a wide range of issues including anti-terrorism and the role of the United Nations.
The Chinese vice president told reporters that the meeting was held in a friendly atmosphere with mutual trust, and produced fruitful results. He expressed satisfaction with the development of Sino-German relations in all aspects.
While promising that China would make efforts to push the Sino-German relationship to a new level, he said both sides agreed that the international community should intensify cooperation in fighting terrorism of any form.
