The Chinese Foreign Ministry (MOFA) announced on Monday its head Qin Gang will visit Germany, France, and Norway between May 8 and 12.
The ministry added in a written statement that Qin's travel will come in response to the invitations extended by his counterparts from Germany, France, and Norway, Annalena Baerbock, Catherine Colonna, and Anniken Huitfeldt, respectively.
Baerbock visited China in April and later accused it of not respecting international rules and replacing them with its own.
