German Chancellor Friedrich Merz concluded a three-day tour of Asia with a call to strengthen global trade and establish a rules-based economic order 2. Speaking at the Asia-Pacific Germany Conference in Seoul on October 30, 2026, Merz warned against using supply chains as political tools 12. He stated that such actions jeopardize growth, prosperity, and security across the region 12. Specifically, he cautioned that when supply chains become "political pawns," the stability of the entire area is threatened 12.
Merz criticized current trends including tariffs, technological decoupling strategies, and intense competition over critical raw materials and new technologies, arguing these factors are altering global economic rules 1. In response to this destabilized trading environment, he expressed the European Union’s willingness to lead efforts to shape better agreements with Asian nations 1. Earlier in his trip, while in Singapore on Wednesday, Merz urged the EU to pursue a free trade agreement with the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) 12.
