Sino-Slovak relations stressed

Ambassador expresses optimism for closer economic, cultural cooperation

Peter Lizak, Slovak ambassador to China, emphasized the strategic partnership between the two nations, highlighting a high level of bilateral relations and expressing optimism for future collaborations in economic and cultural spheres to further enhance bilateral ties.

Having served as Slovakia's ambassador to China for more than two years, Lizak has traveled extensively across various regions of China. Unlike many of his diplomatic colleagues, Lizak's understanding of China extends beyond official duties and meetings with government officials.

A passionate ping-pong player for over 50 years, Lizak has found an additional avenue to connect with the nation. Also a well-known sport in Slovakia, ping-pong has allowed him to bond with local citizens in Beijing's parks, gaining insights into the everyday lives and transformations of ordinary Chinese citizens.
