BEIJING, June 24 – Polish President Andrzej Duda arrived in Beijing Saturday night to begin a five-day state visit to China.
During the visit, Chinese President Xi Jinping will hold talks with Duda to map out the future development of China-Poland relations, have an in-depth exchange of views on issues of common concern and jointly attend the signing ceremony of cooperation documents.
The upcoming meeting between the two leaders comes following Xi’s 2016 state visit to Poland and Duda’s trip to Beijing for the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
During this ongoing visit, Chinese Premier Li Qiang and Zhao Leji, chairman of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee, will have separate meetings with the Polish president.
Duda will also attend the 15th World Economic Forum Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as Summer Davos, in Dalian on June 25.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Poland.
It is worth remembering that Poland was among the earliest nations to recognize the People’s Republic of China, former Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski said.
“Since then, bilateral relations have been developing prosperously in a mutually beneficial direction,” Komorowski told CGTN.
