Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao arrived here on Wednesday for a short working
visit to Germany.

During the one-day visit, Wen will meet German President Horst Koehler
and Chancellor Angela Merkel. He will also attend the second meeting of
the China-European Union (EU) Forum.

Upon arrival at the Hamburg airport, Wen said in a written statement that
he would discuss with Merkel about bilateral relations and other issues
of common concern.

He said he strongly believed that his visit would enhance mutual trust,
deepen consensus, and push forward the development of the partnership
between China and Germany.

According to Chinese diplomatic sources, a series of agreements on
bilateral cooperation in trade and investment, chemical industry and
environmental protection will be signed during Wen's visit.

Germany is the third leg of his four-nation tour, which has already taken
him to Finland and Britain. This is Wen's second visit to Germany as
Chinese Premier.

Wen will leave Berlin and head for Tajikistan on Thursday, where he will
attend the fifth meeting of heads of government of the Shanghai
Cooperation Organization (SCO).
