JOHANNESBURG, November 23. . German Chancellor Friedrich Merz plans to go to China on his first visit since taking office “in the first weeks of next year”. He told reporters about this after the G20 summit in Johannesburg.
At the same time, Merz said that it is believed that “China can influence Russia” in the context of the conflict in Ukraine. “And, according to our general assessment, this impact could be a little larger,” the chancellor said at a press conference with his Cabinet colleague, German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil, who recently visited China.
