She called for an early conclusion of ongoing trade agreement negotiations with Canada and the US, Xinhua reported, citing German newspaper Frankfurt Allgemeine.

Given the increasing weight of Asia in the global economy, Merkel said,"Europe is no longer the measure of all things."

She noted that opportunities may outweigh risks once the free-trade agreements with Canada and US are put into place.
