During the two-day official visit to Germany, the Chinese premier also held an annual meeting with Merkel, attended an innovation-themed forum and delivered a keynote speech and meet with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

Li and Merkel also witnessed the signing of a series of cooperation documents in the fields of economy and trade, new-energy vehicles, trilateral cooperation, finance and artificial intelligence.

When it comes to the climate change issue, Li said China will continue to work steadfastly to implement the commitment of the Paris climate deal and join hands with all parties to tackle climate change.

China, a large developing country, should shoulder its international responsibilities to jointly address the challenge of climate change with other countries, Li said.

Combating climate change is a global consensus, he said, adding that "with tremendous efforts, China will move towards the 2030 goal step-by-step steadfastly."

China has actively participated in promoting and the signing of the Paris Agreement, Li said, adding that China was also one of the first countries to submit the file of national plan on dealing with climate change to the United Nations.

Li stressed that China will make more efforts to maintain the green, low-carbon and sustainable development course.

The Paris Agreement was adopted by 196 parties in Paris in 2017 and it went into effect in November last year. The pact sets a target of holding the global average rise in temperature below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and preferably below 1.5 degree Celsius.
