BERLIN - Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao arrived here Monday night for an official visit to Germany.

In a written statement issued upon his arrival, Wen said that China and Germany have increased mutual understanding and trust, and enhanced mutually beneficial cooperation in recent years, particularly in the process of coping with the global financial crisis.

He added that China-Germany relations are facing new opportunities for development.

Wen said during his stay in Germany, he will co-chair the first China-Germany inter-government consultations together with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and meet with German President Christian Wulff.

"We will set new goals and tasks for pragmatic cooperation between the two countries in various fields, and exchange views on major international and regional issues of common concern," he said.

"I'm confident that this visit will further promote the China-Germany strategic partnership," he added.

Germany is the last stop of Wen's current three-nation Europe tour, which has already taken him to Hungary and Britain.
