(MDDI/AFP pic)SINGAPORE: Europe remains a stable destination for investment despite political turbulence at home and elsewhere, German chancellor Friedrich Merz said Tuesday, kicking off a three-nation Asian tour aimed at deepening ties beyond China.
Germany has been seeking to diversify its strategic and trade links to counter the perceived unreliability of the US or China's growth as an economic rival.
Speaking in Singapore, the first stop of a visit that will also take him to Japan and South Korea, Merz said there were "no uncertainties in Europe".
"Under the federal government I lead, investment opportunities will be continuously improved," Merz said after meeting Singapore prime minister Lawrence Wong.
