China-CEEC cooperation will deepen

Second expo offers key platform for bolstering two-way trade relations

President Xi Jinping highlighted on Tuesday the necessity for China and Central and Eastern European countries to keep exploring the potential for cooperation and work together to broaden the space for bilateral collaboration.

Xi made the remark as he sent a congratulatory message to the second China-CEEC Expo, which is being held in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, from Tuesday to Friday.

The expo will help bolster the knowledge about CEEC commodities in the Chinese market, expand CEEC exports to China, help various sides to tackle the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, and promote economic recovery, Xi said.

The cooperation mechanism between China and CEE countries has become an important platform for the countries to enhance friendship, scale up cooperation and plan future development, he said.
