China: Trade Agreements, No Visas

From 22 to 26 June the Polish President Andrzej Duda visited China to meet the President Xi Jinping and participate in the World Economic Forum in Dalian, the Polish-Chinese Economic Forum in Shanghai and other events. During four-hour talks the Presidents discussed bilateral economic co-operation, global politics, security and the Belt and Route Initiative started by China in 2013 to develop infrastructural links with the Middle East, Africa and Europe. They also attended signing Polish-Chinese agreements on co-operation in trade and investments, including export of Polish poultry and beans to China, and publication of a thorough bilingual dictionary. During the visit the Chinese government abolished short-term visas for Poles and the President Duda invited the President Jinping to Poland. Both countries established diplomatic relations 75 years ago.
