A high-level dialogue in Dusseldorf, Germany on Tuesday brought together Chinese and German experts to discuss sharing opportunities generated by China's development and advancing bilateral ties.
The event, called "China in Springtime: China's Development Opportunities for the World," was hosted by China Media Group (CMG) and the Chinese Consulate General in Dusseldorf.
It gathered representatives from the political, business, academic, and media circles from both countries to share insights on a wide range of topics.
Some participants said that China's 15th Five-Year Plan, which was approved on March 12 by lawmakers, laid out a strategic blueprint of China's economic and social development in 2026-2030.
The move signals firm confidence in maintaining stability and long-term development of China's economy, they said.
Others said they believe that through candid exchanges, mutual understanding and practical cooperation, the ties between China and Germany will keep advancing and inject more positive energy into world peace and development.
German business leaders and experts from scientific research institutes also shared their views on China's high-quality development and the industrial cooperation between the two countries.

An adorable giant panda cub has been seen enjoying a bowl of milk and later cosily lying on a wooden platform after getting a little muddy during messy playtime in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
The playful panda, with its hair all wet and frizzy and covered in mud after presumably rolling around in its enclosure, is seen happily slurping on a bowl of milk provided by a panda keeper.
Later, the mischievous cub appears to be a little tired out from its exuberant activities, and is seen curled up having a rest on its wooden climbing frame.
Shared by the iPanda channel, this charming look into the life of panda cubs at the Wolong Shenshuping Base of China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Pandas (CCRCGP) was filmed on February 28.
The adorable cub is one of a pigeon pair of cubs -- born in August 2025 at the CCRCGP -- to the giant panda Jia Mei.
The CCRCGP is a world-leading institution dedicated to the breeding and conservation of the giant panda. The center has established the world's largest captive population of giant pandas and pioneered research on captive breeding and training for rewilding.
The center also holds the largest global platform for promoting international cooperation and exchanges on Panda conservation, involving 18 zoos from 16 countries and regions, 39 domestic animal breeding institutions, and over 10 scientific research institutes.
