(COMMERCIAL BREAK) JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR: All right, Berlin right now, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Obama for a joint news conference. Let's listen in. ANGELA MERKEL, GERMAN CHANCELLOR (through translation): I'm delighted to be able to welcome today for the sixth time, the president of the United States of America Barack Obama, to Germany, in his capacity as president of the United States. And let us remind ourselves after visiting us in his capacity as candidate here in Berlin, we then met again in Baden Baden. We saw each other when he gave a speech at the Brandenburg Gate. We met again at the G-7. And today, he is again here in Berlin. So, eight years are coming to a close. This is the last visit of Barack Obama to our country, to Germany. I am very glad that he chose Germany as one of the stop-overs on this trip. Thank you very much. Thank you for the friendship you have always demonstrated. Thank you for the reliable friendship and partnership you in very demonstrated in very difficult hours of our relationship. So, let me again pay tribute to what we able to achieve, to what we discuss, to what we were able to bring about in difficult hours. Come to mind, as I said, those that had a bearing on the cooperation of our intelligence services. And I'm very grateful that Barack Obama, as president, very much put protection of privy on the agenda today, due to Islamist terrorism all over the world. We recognize how important the cooperation with intelligence services, first and foremost, also with the services of the United States is. We need this cooperation, let me say this from a German perspective, very clearly and unequivocally. Our bilateral relations are very good, are very close in the areas of business, of the economy. The United States of America last year were our most important trading partner. Both for Germany and the European Union, the European Union and the United States of America are the big important economic areas for us, which is why I always have come up strongly in favor of concluding a trade agreement with the United States of America. We have made progress, quite a lot of progress that cannot be stopped, those negotiations, but we will keep what we have achieved so far. And I'm absolutely certain that one day we will come back to what we have achieved and build on it. Because that is my deep conviction. Globalization -- and I think we share this conviction -- is that globalization needs to be shaped politically. It needs to be given a human face. But we cannot allow to fall back pre-globalization. So, this conclusion of trade agreements that go beyond the scope of mere tariff agreements, customs agreements, are most important. And I'm very pleased we were able to bring this to fruition between Canada and the E.U. We've made great progress particularly if we look at one of the great global issues, namely climate protection. Without the engagement of the current administration and the leadership of Barack Obama, this Paris agreement would never have come about. There has been a change in the attitude in the United States towards that agreement but there is also a better cooperation with China. So, last year, we were able to conclude a Paris climate agreement which will lead the way for the rest of the world, which is groundbreaking. Together with the sustainable development goals of the Agenda 2030 for the whole world. This is indeed sea change, I think, that we see here. And step by step, it will be implemented. There's another point I wanted to mention here, particularly the engagement and commitment to Africa. For us Europeans, Africa as a neighboring continent is of prime importance. The development of African countries is in our very own best interest. We, as Germans, but also we as members of the European Union, will have to deal with this. It will be at the very top of our agenda. There are a lot of areas where we cooperate, the fight against ISIL, for example. Here, Germany was able to contribute to a certain extent in certain areas, will continue to do so, for example, in supporting the Peshmerga, in air policing. But we also have to acknowledge that the United States of America bear most of the burden. They bear the brunt of this responsibility. So, I take your remarks very seriously, Barack, that the European Union as a whole but also Germany needs to recognize that this is our alliance, our common alliance, our Trans- Atlantic alliance, that we have to step up our engagement because, in the long run, we will not be allowed to accept this imbalance as regards the contributions we gave to this alliance. And we have understood this message and we have started to react. We have worked very closely together, for example, in Afghanistan. We are continuing to do so. And I'm very pleased this military engagement together with a political road map that we developed, we were able to continue. We want to bring about a political solution there. We worked very closely together on the issue of annexation of Crimea and Russia's attempt to actually conquer Ukraine and, actually, they did so, conquer part of the territory. We tried to come to a peaceful settlement here on this. So, our interests are very much aligned. Our intents of cooperation are very much alive. We continue to build on what we have already achieved in these last months of the administration. And we will continue also with the new administration. This is the end of an eight-year cooperation that was very close, indeed. From a German point of view, German American and European American relations are a pillar of our foreign policy. Foreign policy that is obviously guided by interests but that is very much also committed to shared values so we have a platform, democracy, freedom, respect of human rights, that we would like to see respected all over the world and also a peaceful world order. We have shared those values. We continue to share those values. Obviously, we will continue to cooperate with the new administration. But today I think a word of gratitude is at hand. Thank you very much for this very close, very intensive cooperation. --ctV8582564SX4UDQ5RY1j2Tu3baBCw8EJymoPOf09FLn Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit
