China and Germany must push forward bilateral ties to better seize opportunities and combat challenges in the post-crisis era.

These interactions have played a positive role in strengthening bilateral cooperation, which is expected to get a fillip during German Chancellor Angela Merkel's three-day official visit to Beijing starting Thursday.
