Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized China's commitment to fostering stability and collaboration with European partners during high-level talks with Slovenian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon on Saturday. The discussions, described as "comprehensive and in-depth," underscored shared priorities in addressing global challenges.
Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, highlighted the importance of China-Europe cooperation in injecting "positive energy" into international relations. Both sides reportedly reached broad consensus on enhancing multilateral coordination and economic partnerships.
The dialogue aligns with China's broader diplomatic efforts to strengthen ties with Central and Eastern European countries, a region increasingly viewed as a bridge for cross-continental trade and cultural exchange. Analysts suggest such engagements could bolster investor confidence in Asia-Europe supply chain resilience amid geopolitical uncertainties.
Slovenia, a European Union member since 2004, has actively participated in China's Belt and Road Initiative, with bilateral trade reaching $5.3 billion in 2023. The talks also touched on climate cooperation and digital infrastructure development, key areas for business professionals monitoring Asia's evolving economic landscape.
