From November 3-5, a distinguished Berlin delegation visited Beijing to mark the 30th anniversary of the Berlin-Beijing partnership. Leading the delegation was Michael Biel, State Secretary of the Berlin Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy, and Public Enterprises, accompanied by Jens Homann, and Dr. Stefan Franzke, CEO of Berlin Partner für Wirtschaft und Technologie GmbH. Mr. Biel's visit also marked the first by a Berlin government official to China since 2019. We were thrilled to welcome Mr. Biel and the delegation to our office, where our Office Director, Yiran Li, shared a comprehensive briefing on our initiatives and the economic update now in China. We were truly honored by the delegation's visit; despite their tight schedule, they dedicated additional time to listen intently to our report and engage thoughtfully with our updates. Their support and interest mean a great deal to us as we continue to foster Berlin-China collaboration.
