A Chinese delegation led by the vice-minister of commerce will visit Germany and France to negotiate with the European Commission on the European Union's decision to launch an anti-dumping investigation on Chinese solar panel exports, according to a statement released by the Ministry of Commerce.

Chen Deming, minister of commerce, said that the ministry is closely following the anti-dumping probe.

China will find a way to tackle the issue through talks with the EU, and the Chinese delegation members will try their best to protect the interests of Chinese companies, he said.
