German media: Foreign Minister cancels trip just before departure, a setback on the diplomatic level
According to The Pioneer, canceling the trip just before departure is a setback on the diplomatic level. Foreign Minister Waidhoff's visit to China was supposed to be the first ministerial visit to China since the Mertz government took office. However, 48 hours before the departure, the Foreign Minister's office suddenly announced that the trip had been postponed. As a result, German media have described this as a "super-GAU" (a major disaster) for the Mertz government, and Chancellor Friedrich Mertz's planned first visit to China has also been put on hold.
