German Chancellor Merkel said today (February 26): "I wish us to be steady, energetic and full of vitality in the Year of the Horse. I hope the Year of the Horse becomes a year of win-win cooperation and common development between China and Germany. This is the blessing I wrote in the guestbook when I visited the Palace Museum."
Comments: As the first leader of a Western major power to visit China in the Year of the Horse, Merkel's words are not just diplomatic etiquette, but also a clear signal to the outside world: in a turbulent international environment, China and Germany have chosen to move in the same direction and achieve practical and mutual benefits, which responds to Germany's practical needs in areas such as economy, industrial chain, energy and technology.
