German Chancellor Angela Merkel emphasized the importance of global cooperation as she laid out her views on trade ahead of next week’s G-20 summit in Japan.

In a video blog on Saturday, she stressed the importance of the G-20 in tackling issues including free trade, digitization, climate change and health. Global problems “cannot be solved by going it alone,” Merkel said, noting that U.S.-China tensions are having knock-on effects “felt every day” in Germany.
