During the bilateral discussions, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and China's Premier Li Keqiang agreed to intensify economic collaborations between their two countries.

Hytera Mobilfunk GmbH is good example of the ongoing and positive trade relations that exist between Germany and China: Being a German company deeply rooted in Lower Saxony with a long-standing and dedicated Chinese shareholder, Hytera Mobilfunk brings together the best of both economic communities.

It was therefore a natural conclusion that both Mr. Chen Qingzhou, CEO of Hytera Communications based in Shenzhen, and Mr. Matthias Klausing, CEO of Hytera Mobilfunk GmbH in Bad Münder, should attend the fifth Chinese-German Government Consultations, which took place in Berlin on 9th and 10th July. Chen Qingzhou was a representative for the top-ranking Chinese trade delegation, while Matthias Klausing was there to represent a German company with good relations with China.

"Our experience of a Chinese shareholder is testimony to the fact that Chinese investment in Germany creates jobs and stimulates growth. Trust between China and Germany is growing," explains Matthias Klausing with confidence.

During the bilateral discussions, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and China's Premier Li Keqiang agreed to intensify economic collaborations between their two countries, in particular within the technological sector and to strengthen their commitment to fair, free trade. The Berlin summit provided the trade delegations from both nations with the perfect opportunity to sign more than 20 trade deals and intergovernmental agreements. With trading volumes in excess of EUR 186 billion, China has become Germany's most important trading partner outside Europe.

Following the event, Bernhard Klinger, Vice President of Business Development, Public Affairs and Governmental Relations at Hytera Mobilfunk, invited Chen Qingzhou and Matthias Klausing to join him and others for dinner in the German capital. The conversation across the dinner table delved further into the topics covered at the bilateral economic summit:

"For our part, the strong and dependable relationship we enjoy with our Chinese investor is a clear indication that we are guiding our German company, which we have developed single-handedly over the decades, toward a long and successful future. This, in turn, demonstrates that we are boosting the long-term economic success of Lower Saxony by creating highly technical jobs in a rural area," adds Bernhard Klinger.
