Chinese envoy calls on China, Germany to write new chapter of friendship

Chinese ambassador to Germany Deng Hongbo has called on China and Germany to deepen mutual trust and jointly write a new chapter of friendship.



At a symposium held on Friday, German guests recounted stories of mutual assistance between the two peoples, citing examples like German businessman John Rabe's efforts to protect Chinese civilians during the Nanjing Massacre and Shanghai opening its door to Jewish refugees during World War II.



Noting that this period of history deserves to be remembered by the people of both countries, they said that the two sides should carry forward their friendship, strengthen exchanges and mutual learning, deepen win-win cooperation, and work together to pursue common development and build peace.



Both sides should cherish these valuable experiences, adhere to the positioning of partners, deepen mutual trust through cooperation and jointly write a new chapter of bilateral friendship, said the Chinese ambassador.
