STORYLINE
German President Joachim Gauck met with Chinese leaders in Beijing on Monday, as part of his five-day state visit to China.
Gauck was received by Chinese President Xi Jinping with a welcoming ceremony outside the Great Hall of the People, before the two sat down for meetings.
He met with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang earlier on Monday.
Gauck's visit is the first to China by a German president in nine years.
Gauck is expected to raise a number of uncomfortable issues for the Chinese, including human rights during his talks with leaders, German media reported before his trip.
Rights activists in Germany have called on Gauck to speak up for persecuted and detained civil rights lawyers and a greater freedom of expression in China.
Gauck is scheduled to inaugurate a programme later on Monday for a year of planned school and youth exchanges between China and Germany in 2016.
Gauck is also due to visit China's commercial hub Shanghai and ancient city Xi'an.
