应国务院总理李强邀请，德国总理朔尔茨将于4月14日至16日对中国进行正式访问。据外媒报道，宝马、梅赛德斯-奔驰等多家德国企业高管将与他一同前往。这是其就任总理以来第二次访华。此次访华，对中德两国有何重要意义？两国关系将取得何种进展？双边经贸往来会否迈上新台阶？围绕相关话题，中新网专访德国黑森州欧洲及国际事务司前司长博喜文(Michael Borchmann)。博喜文称，朔尔茨此次访华规格极高，彰显出与中国发展关系在其心目中的重要性。博喜文进一步指出，欧中间加强人员往来交流，有利于减少少数敌对性言论对双方关系造成的不利影响。他还强调，在当前外部环境动荡的时期，中欧班列对保障全球供应链的安全起到了重要作用。(陈天浩)
