Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday sent a congratulatory letter
to the 2nd China-Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) Expo,
expressing hope that all parties can take this opportunity to tap the
potential for collaboration and open up broader space for cooperation. Xi pointed out the China-CEEC cooperation mechanism is an important
platform for China and the CEEC to enhance their friendship, expand
cooperation and seek common development. The China-CEEC Summit was successfully held in February this year. At
the summit, Xi stressed that under the new situation, China and the
CEEC should take a practical approach to cooperation and expand the
outcomes of mutually beneficial cooperation. Also at the summit, Xi put
forward a plan that China would import commodities with a cumulative
value of over 170 billion U.S. dollars from the CEEC in the coming five
years, and said that China would strive for doubling the import of
agricultural products from the CEEC in the next five years, and continue
to promote the construction of China-CEEC economic and trade
cooperation demonstration zones in China's Ningbo and other places. "With the joint efforts of all relevant parties, the results of the summit are being implemented," Xi said. Xi said the 2nd China-CEEC Expo will help the Chinese market learn
more about the commodities from the CEEC, expand CEEC's exports to
China, and help all parties respond to the challenges brought about by
the COVID-19 pandemic and promote the economic recovery. The 2nd China-CEEC Expo opened in Ningbo of east China's Zhejiang
Province on Tuesday, with the theme of "Fostering a New Development
Paradigm, Sharing a Win-Win Opportunity." The expo is jointly organized
by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and the Zhejiang Provincial People's
Government, attracting guests and companies from China and the CEEC.
