Chinese President Xi Jinping and Hereditary Prince Alois of Liechtenstein exchanged warm congratulatory messages Sunday, commemorating 75 years of diplomatic relations between their nations. The exchange highlights enduring cross-continental cooperation amid evolving global dynamics.
In his message, Xi emphasized China\u2019s commitment to deepening mutual trust and expanding practical cooperation with Liechtenstein, particularly in trade, cultural exchanges, and multilateral diplomacy. The hereditary prince reciprocated, praising China\u2019s role in global governance and expressing optimism for future collaboration.
The milestone comes as China strengthens ties with European microstates, with bilateral trade between Beijing and Vaduz growing steadily since 2019. Analysts note Liechtenstein\u2019s unique position as a financial hub could create new opportunities under China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative framework.
Cultural ties also remain strong, with recent collaborations in winter sports technology and heritage preservation drawing attention. The two nations first established diplomatic relations in 1950, shortly after the founding of the People\u2019s Republic of China.
