Beijing and Berlin also need to step up bilateral coordination and cooperation at the China-EU level, as well as within international bodies and multilateral frameworks such as the United Nations (UN) and the Group of 20 (G20), he added.
He urged the two countries to maintain communication over hotspot issues concerning international and regional security so as to preserve world peace and stability, promote healthy world economic development, and contribute to building a community of shared future for all mankind.
China appreciates Germany for keeping up with the consensus reached at the G20 summit in Hangzhou last year, and for continuing to prioritize the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and cooperation with Africa at this year's summit, he said.
"The G20 mechanism belongs not only to its members but also to the entire world," said the Chinese leader, adding that Beijing supports Berlin in making the upcoming G20 summit a success and will work with the German side to ensure the meeting achieves positive results.
For her part, Merkel said that she has read Xi's signed article published on the Die Welt, a German national daily newspaper, and agrees that Germany's cooperation with China in politics, economy, and cultural and people-to-people exchanges accords with the interests of both sides, and boasts even greater potential.
She said that the German government will resolutely stick to the one China policy, and is willing to work with China to step up cooperation in economy, trade and connectivity under the Belt and Road Initiative, and exchanges in such areas as education, culture and football as well as between the two countries' youths and sister cities.
