Li Qiang will pay an official visit to Germany and hold the seventh China-Germany Inter-Governmental Consultation, and pay an official visit to France and attend the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact from June 18 to 23, said the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

This will be Li’s first overseas trip since becoming the Chinese premier in March. 

Choosing Germany and France for his first trip demonstrates the great importance China attaches to relations with the two countries, said the ministry.
