Germany and China pledged to deepening cooperation in the finance sector and fight trade protectionism during Finance Minister Olaf Scholz’s two-day visit to Beijing. And three pacts are signed, including agreements with the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission and China’s Securities Regulatory Commission.
Ahead of today’s meeting with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He, Scholz said “it is important that, contrary to recent trends that we can observe elsewhere, we are seeing progress in our cooperation”. And, “we have a lot of common interests in financial matters, and then we need to bring different perspectives together. I believe that is the very important task of this financial dialogue.”
