On July 2, MOFCOM spokesman He Yadong said the China-Germany economic
cooperation joint committee will be restarted. Beijing and Berlin plan two new
working groups—trade & investment and industrial cooperation—to carry out policy
exchanges and government‑business dialogue. Both sides are expediting
preparations and aim to convene a minister‑led meeting of the cooperation
mechanism in early 2027 to produce trade and economic outcomes ahead of the next
phase of high-level engagement.
