German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder will visit China and Japan during December 5-10 to hold talks with political and business leaders there, a government statement said yesterday.

He will be accompanied by a large business delegation, said the statement.

In China, Schroeder will meet President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao.

The China visit will also take him to the northeastern city of Changchun, where the German automobile giant Volkswagen has a joint venture.

The German leader has visited China once a year over the last few years.

In Tokyo, Schroeder will hold talks with Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and take part in a German-Japanese conference.
