【習近平在白宮歡迎儀式上的致辭】習近平在白宮歡迎儀式上的致辭。中美兩國利益深度交融，合作空間十分廣闊。雖然中美合作不可能解決世界上所有問題，但沒有兩國合作，世界上很多問題都難以解決。中國開放的大門始終敞開，歡迎美國企業來華投資興業，希望美方公平對待中國企業，共同拉長合作清單，壓縮問題清單。中美兩國都是人工智能大國，有能力也有責任發展好、管控好人工智能，確保人工智能發展始終受控於人、造福於民。中方願同美國加強禁毒、執法等合作。雙方可以增加直航航班，讓雙方人員和經貿往來更加便捷。（新華社）

Several leading German economic research institutes said they have more than doubled their joint growth forecast after the economy outperformed in 1H. They now expect GDP to rise 1.3% in 2026, up from a spring forecast of 0.6%. They lifted the next-year forecast from 0.9% to 1.1% and see growth slowing to 0.4% in 2028.
