STORYLINE:
Chinese Premier Li Qiang was greeted by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin on Monday for a dinner meeting.
The meeting comes at the beginning of Li's visit to Germany and France, his first trip abroad since taking office earlier this year.
He and a large delegation of Chinese ministers will meet with their German counterparts on Tuesday, the seventh time the two countries have held such government consultations.
Top officials from both sides also will meet business representatives.
Earlier in the day, Li held talks with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
Li, a former Communist Party secretary for Shanghai, took office in March as China's No. 2 official.
It was part of a once-a-decade change of government that installed loyalists of Chinese leader Xi Jinping to enforce his vision of tighter political control over the economy and society.
