German Chancellor Angela Merkel will visit the Chinese-German industrial park in Shenyang, Liaoning province on June 14, accompanied by a large business delegation.
This will be a part of her ongoing visit to China, which is focused on how the two countries can deepen economic relations and help boost a flagging global economy.
Industrial areas in Northeast China are facing problems of renovation, while Germany has managed to renovate its polluted Ruhr area. That will offer new cooperation opportunities for Chinese and Germany companies, German Ambassador to China Michael Clauss told China Daily in an interview ahead of the visit.
Situated in Shenyang's Tiexi district, and with a planned area of 48 square kilometers, the Sino-German (Shenyang) Intelligent Equipment Manufacturing Park combines information with industry and is intended to become a pilot zone for "Made in China 2025" and "German Industry 4.0", a demonstration zone for innovative industrialization and a hub for the global equipment manufacturing industry.
