Chinese President Xi Jinping and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico met on Friday during the 80th anniversary celebrations of the victory in the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War, marking a significant boost in bilateral ties.
Xi highlighted that China-Slovakia relations are now in a "fast lane," a development building on Fico's visit to China in 2024. The leaders agreed on the importance of deepening their traditional friendship, increasing high-level exchanges, and forging partnerships that support the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative. Such moves are seen as key to not only strengthening relations between China and Slovakia but also enhancing cooperation with the EU.
Fico reaffirmed that forging a close strategic partnership with China remains a top priority in Slovakia's foreign policy. He stressed that Slovakia will maintain its commitment to the one-China policy while advancing trade, investment, and cultural exchanges. This proactive approach promises vibrant opportunities ahead and injects fresh momentum into the international partnership scene. 🚀🌍
