With Slovenia set to lead a delegation to November's China International Import Expo, Wang urged stronger bilateral ties in trade, education, and tech. Lotric reciprocated, calling Slovenia-China relations a "mutual success story" and endorsing China's Global Governance Initiative for peace. 🛠️📚
Europe's Crossroads: Partners, Not Rivals
Wang addressed Europe's challenges head-on: "None of Europe's current issues stem from China." He advocated for collaboration over competition, urging Slovenia to uphold the one-China principle and help stabilize China-EU relations. 🌉
As both nations eye deeper legislative exchanges, this visit signals China's push to frame its growth as a rising tide lifting all boats—with Slovenia positioned as a gateway to European partnerships. ⚓
