(Reuters) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday called on German businesses to diversify in Asia and not only look to China.

At an event of the Asia-Pacific Committee of German Business she also urged the European Union to conclude negotiations for a free trade agreement with Australia and New Zealand and she threw her support behind the ratification of an EU-China investment agreement.
