SINGAPORE: Germany is keen on strengthening its economic ties with the Asia-Pacific region, said German chancellor Olaf Scholz in his opening address at the 17th edition of the Asia-Pacific Conference of German Business (APK) held here on Monday.
Scholz noted that the consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war – hunger, energy shortages and inflation – were global despite the fact that the conflict might be far away geographically.
