On October 29, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife, Elke Budenbender, visited the Institute of Atmospheric Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, where he was briefed on the academy's recent developments and inspected the 325-meter meteorological observation tower on site. 

In an exclusive on-site interview with CGTN, Steinmeier said China and Germany must cooperate on climate change "with all our skills."
