BERLIN (Reuters) -German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul plans to visit China before the end of this year, he said at a policy forum in Berlin on Tuesday, after postponing a planned October trip at the last minute.
Wadephul was originally due in the Chinese capital in late October on the first visit by a minister of Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s government, but he cancelled at the last minute after the Chinese agreed to just one of his meeting requests.
Merz said this month that he plans to visit China in the first few weeks of 2026.
