Premier Li Keqiang and German Chancellor Angela Merkel agreed at their meeting in Berlin on May 31 that the two countries will deepen cooperation on manufacturing, energy, civil aviation, innovation and small- and medium-sized enterprises.

China and Germany working together, the visiting Premier said, could infuse stability in the dynamism of the world that helps address challenges from instabilities to protectionism fallacies.

He also enlisted Germany’s support in the coming airworthiness review for the C919 jet liner that had its maiden flight recently.
