(MENAFN) China has called on Germany to avoid “megaphone diplomacy” and to stop issuing “unfounded accusations that contradict the facts,” according to a statement released Monday.

During a phone conversation with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged both nations to “adhere to communication and dialogue, enhance understanding, eliminate misunderstandings and consolidate mutual trust.”

The call followed Wadephul’s decision last month to postpone a planned visit to China after Beijing failed to confirm any meetings beyond a scheduled discussion with Wang.

Wang reminded his counterpart that “China had unconditionally supported Germany's unification in the past and hopes that Germany, which has experienced the pain of division, can fully understand and support China's efforts to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity by opposing any ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist activities.”

He further stated that “maintaining the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations aligns with their mutual interests and international expectations, contributing to global peace and stability.”

Wang also called for a framework grounded in mutual respect and “win-win cooperation” to “ensure that bilateral ties stay on the right track.”

The Chinese diplomat reaffirmed that the one-China principle “is the most important political foundation of China-Germany relations.”
