China eyes closer trade ties with Central and Eastern European countries

While China and Central and Eastern European countries are cooperating more closely in multiple areas, they will explore new opportunities to further develop trade relations when they meet at the fourth China-CEEC Expo, which will be held in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, from May 22 to 25.

The expo not only features a diverse number of events, but serves as a platform to showcase distinctive products from Central and Eastern Europe with the aim of expanding imports from the region while promoting mutual investments between the different countries.

Since the launch of the cooperation mechanism in 2012, economic and trade relations between China and Central and Eastern European countries have developed healthily and steadily, and the foundation for pragmatic cooperation has been continuously strengthened, the Ministry of Commerce said on Friday.
