BEIJING, July 28 (Reuters) – Chinese President Xi Jinping hopes Slovakia will play a constructive role in the development of European Union’s relations with China, focusing on properly handling conflicts and differences, according to a report on Tuesday from state news agency Xinhua.
The key is to engage in equal consultation and seek common ground while reserving differences, Xinhua cited Xi as saying to Slovak President Peter Pellegrini, who is on a three-day state visit to China.
With Slovakia, Xi mentioned potential cooperation in emerging industries and frontier fields such as clean energy, digital economy, robotics manufacturing, and artificial intelligence, Xinhua reported.
