During the discussion, both sides discussed the differences and integration of the rules of commercial arbitration and international investment arbitration, and the ideas for dealing with substantive issues, and both agreed that the development of international investment arbitration will inevitably have an impact on commercial arbitration, and the experience and practices of commercial arbitration will also provide perfect influences and solutions for international investment arbitration rules. In the future, the Chinese and Germany arbitration communities are expected to continue maintaining stable communication and exchanges, continuously expand the breadth and depth of cooperation, and work together to contribute to the construction for a more fair, transparent and orderly international arbitration system.
