Beijing.German Chancellor Angela Merkel sought to reassure Beijing over the crisis in the eurozone and urged China to press Tehran on its nuclear programme as she began an official visit yesterday.

  "The euro as our common currency has made Europe stronger," Merkel said in a speech ahead of talks with China's Premier Wen Jiabao.  

"The European Union -- in particular those states that have adopted the euro -- has made considerable progress in the last two years."  Merkel's three-day trip is aimed partly at boosting confidence in the eurozone after a sovereign debt crisis that has seen a wave of credit-rating downgrades and brought Greece to the brink of bankruptcy.
