Regional cooperation as an important drive of cooperation between China and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) will be dealt with by Local Leaders Meeting (LLM) 2014 and China Investment Forum (CIF) 2014, which are both being co-organized by the Czech China Chamber of Collaboration and will be held on 28.-29. Aug. 2014 in Prague.

 

To introduce the content and the program of these important meetings to the deputies of Central and Eastern European countries and of China, held under the wings of Warsaw initiative and Bucharest challenge in the context of intensifying cooperation at all levels between China and CEE countries, there was held a meeting in Gobelin hall of Hrzansky Palace on 8 July where the organizers and the diplomats of these countries met.

The Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China in the Czech Republic, Mrs. MA Keqing, as well the ambassadors of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Macedonia, Poland, Slovenia, Romania, Slovakia and Serbia were invited to participate.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of CIF 2014 and LLM 2014 the meeting was attended by the President of the Organising Committee, Mr Jaroslav Tvrdík, the vice president of the Organizing committee, Petr Mrhálek, and the leading manager for the guests of the CEE, Iva Hrůzová.
