SHANGHAI Mayor Ying Yong met with visiting Czech President Miloš Zeman and his delegation on Wednesday.
Ying and Zeman also oversaw the signing of a sister-city agreement between Shanghai and Prague and a number of contracts for cultural and health cooperation between the two cities.
Ying said China and Czech have developed strong ties in recent years and upgraded their relationship to strategic partnership. The two countries signed important documents for the Belt and Road construction.
He pointed out that Shanghai and Czech are complementary in economy. The two sides have cooperated fruitfully in trade, health, culture, aviation and other fields.
The mayor said Shanghai is China’s economic center and the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone is being built as a bridgehead of the Belt and Road Initiative. The city wants to play an active role within the framework of the Sino-Czech strategic partnership.
He believed President Zeman’s visit will help promote the cooperation between Shanghai and Czech to a new level.
Zeman said he is pleased to see the Czech-China friendly relationship brings positive effects on all industries.
“Shanghai is China’s economic center. The Czech-Shanghai cooperation will benefit from the new sister cities of Prague and Shanghai and a set of other bilateral agreements,” the president said.
Ma Keqing, the Chinese ambassador to Czech Republic; Xu Kunlin, vice mayor of Shanghai; and Bedřich Kopecký, Czech ambassador to China were also present at the meeting.
