Xi arrives in Prague with relations in 鈥榖est time鈥
Print Edition
CHINESE President Xi Jinping arrived in Prague yesterday to start a three-day state visit to the Czech Republic, as China seeks closer China-Czech ties and stronger relations with Central and Eastern Europe.
It is the first state visit by a Chinese president in 67 years since the two countries established diplomatic ties, and also Xi’s first visit to the CEE region since he assumed presidency in 2013 and his first trip to Europe this year.
Officials and experts from both countries said China-Czech relations have been ushered into “the best time in history.”
Xi and Czech President Milos Zeman have met four times in two years. Following his state visit to China in October 2014, Zeman came to Beijing in September 2015 to attend the commemorations marking the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
During his stay, Xi will hold talks with Zeman and meet Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka, Senate Chairman Milan Stech, Chamber of Deputies Chairman Jan Hamacek and Prague Mayor Adriana Krnacova.
“This is an opportune time for the development of the China-Czech relations. I look forward to working with Czech leaders to further enhance bilateral relations and push for new progress in “16+1” cooperation and China-EU relations,” Xi said in an article in Pravo Daily.
China is the Czech Republic’s largest trading partner outside the EU, while the Czech Republic has been China’s second largest trading partner in Central and Eastern Europe for some years.
