BERLIN (AA): German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday hailed closer cooperation between the European Union and China for a multilateral world order.

Merkel warned against unilateralist policies in international arena and urged the strengthening of the multilateral system.

“In today’s discussions, I really had the impression that each of the participants want to bring their contribution so that this [multilateral] system can be further developed,” she said at a joint news conference with the leaders of France and China following a meeting in Paris.

“That means reform at the UN Security Council, further development of the IMF, reforming the WTO … that also means reactivating the G20,” she added.

EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker also attended the meeting.
