SOUNDBITE (English): HANS-PETER FRIEDRICH, Former vice president of German Bundestag and chairman of Germany-China Parliamentary Group
"I really hope that the cooperation will go on because we had in the last decades close cooperation, very successful cooperation. And I think there's no need to stop this cooperation, but to find ways, also in a changing world to find ways to work together to cooperate. I think Europe, Germany, and China are very important for the double continents. Chinese and Europeans play a very important role in the angle of stability. There are a lot of things (to cooperate), especially in environmental technologies and health. This is very important because the health market in China is growing very fast. We can cooperate in AI, for example. We can have cooperation in machinery as we had in the last decades. So there are a lot of things we can do together. Small and medium-sized companies in China are also welcome to look to Europe, and to look to Germany, to try to be successful in our market."
