Beijing to send shopping delegation to Germany (Extra)

Berlin - China is to send a shopping delegation to Germany to step up two-way trade, Premier Wen Jiabao said in Berlin Thursday. Speaking after talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, he said, 'When I get back to China we will send a delegation to make purchases in Germany. We will be buying products and technologies to bring back to China.' Wen said that despite the world recession, the two nations aimed to prevent any decline in their two-way trade, saying, 'In 2009 we want to keep the level of trade at the same scale as last year.' One of the technologies which China agreed to buy Thursday was the German design work for the Transrapid, a magnetic-levitation railway system which already operates in Shanghai and which China aims to expand.
