Trade and economic ties between China and Central and Eastern Europe have boomed over the past decade, a senior commerce official said on Friday.
So far, two-way investment between China and Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) has reached nearly 20 billion U.S. dollars, Vice Minister of Commerce Li Fei told a press conference.
China’s direct investment in CEECs rose by 148 percent year on year in the first quarter of the year, Li said.
Chinese companies are keen to invest in these regions in areas such as auto parts, home appliances, medicine, logistics, energy and minerals, Li added.—Xinhua
