Ningbo’s 4th China-CEEC Expo just leveled up with Slovakia stealing the show as this year’s guest of honor! 🎉 Richard Rasi, chairman of the Slovak National Council, returned to the event six years after leading his country’s debut delegation in 2019 – and this time, the stakes are higher than ever.
🔑 Why It Matters: Fresh off upgrading bilateral relations to a strategic partnership last November, Rasi sat down with CGTN to spotlight Slovakia’s tech-driven exports and sustainable solutions. Think electric vehicle components 🚗⚡ and AI-powered agricultural tools 🤖🌾 – innovations that align perfectly with China’s green development goals.
💡 Behind the Scenes: The expo isn’t just about trade booths – it’s a cultural bridge. Rasi emphasized deepening people-to-people connections through tourism and education exchanges, calling young people "the architects of our shared future." 👩🎓👨💻
🌐 Big Picture: With over 20 Central and Eastern European countries participating, this event could reshape Eurasia’s economic map. As Rasi put it: "When Slovakia and China collaborate, we’re not just building products – we’re building trust." 🤝
