Xi and Merkel pledge more trade deals and closer contact on hot-spot issues

President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that China will seek to take Sino-German ties to a new level and work more closely with Germany on international issues. 
President Xi made the remarks during a meeting with visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.  
He said relations between the two nations have made rapid progress since they established a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2014.

Xi emphasized that the relationship between China and Germany should be a model of win-win cooperation. He also said the two countries should move beyond ideological differences and promote a new type of international relationship. 
The Chinese president also said he would welcome Germany's participation in China's Belt and Road Initiative, collaboration on new industries, and exploration of third-party markets.

For her part, Merkel said the relations between Germany and China have entered a new era. Germany is looking forward to seizing the opportunities brought by China's further opening up, expanding trade and investment between the two countries, and advancing people-to-people exchanges.
Merkel added that the two sides should reinforce communication on international affairs, and work closely within multilateral mechanisms such as the Group of 20 (G20).

The two leaders also exchanged opinions on issues of common concern, such as international trade and the Iran nuclear issue. 
As two of the signatories to the Iran nuclear deal, China and Germany have expressed their resolution to safeguard the agreement after the US pulled out two weeks ago.
Earlier on Thursday, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang held a joint news briefing with Merkel, touching upon topics including bilateral trade and the Iran nuclear issue.

Meanwhile, Li Zhanshu, chairman of China's National People's Congress, also held talks with Merkel in Beijing. 
During the meeting, Li and Merkel agreed to have more exchanges and collaboration between the two countries' legislatures. 
Merkel is scheduled to travel to China's southern special economic zone Shenzhen for talks with local officials on Friday. She will also attend the opening of an "innovation hub" hosted by the German chamber of commerce and industry in the city. 
Accompanied by an industry delegation of around 20 German executives, the trip is Merkel's eleventh to China since becoming chancellor in 2005.

Trusting Liar (#5) Leave a reply Gertruida is the first to recover.  “Klasie… ?” “Ag drop the pretence, Gertruida. You all call me ‘Liar’ behind my back, so why stop now? Might as well be on the same page, yes?” Liar’s face is flushed with anger; the muscles in his thin neck prominently bulging. “That diamond belongs to me. Hand it over.” “What are you doing? Put away the gun…” “No! This…,” Liar sweeps his one hand towards the horizon, “…is my place.  Mine!   I earned it! And you…you have no right to be here!” “Listen, Liar, we’re not the enemy. Whoever is looking for you with the aeroplane and the chopper….well, it isn’t us. In fact, we were worried about you and that’s why we followed you. We’re here to help, man!” Vetfaan’s voice is pleading as he takes a step closer to the distraught man. “Now, put down the gun and let’s chat about all this.” Liar hesitates, taken aback after clearly being convinced that the group  had hostile intentions. “I…I’m not sure I believe
