President Xi Jinping welcomed G20 Summit host city Hamburg to participate in the building of the Belt and Road, given that the city is well situated to help connect China and Europe.
Xi made the remarks on Thursday while meeting with Olaf Scholz, mayor of Hamburg, shortly after his arrival from Berlin for the summit of many of the world's leading economies on Friday and Saturday.
The city is an important port in Germany, which is among the first European countries to cooperate with China, Xi said.
