The Croatian Embassy in Beijing on Monday held a reception
marking the 15th anniversary of the establishment of Croatia-China
diplomatic ties.
Zhou Tienong, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the
Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), and
visiting Croatian Minister of Foreign Affairs and European
Integration Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic attended the reception.
China and Croatia have witnessed growing political mutual trust
and fruitful cooperation in areas including trade, culture,
education and tourism since they forged diplomatic relations 15
years ago, said Zhou.
Sine the two countries established all-round cooperative
partnership in 2005, the relationship has entered a stage of sound
and rapid development, said Zhou.
Grabar-Kitarovic hailed the growing exchanges and deepening
mutual understanding, saying Croatia-China cooperation will make
new progress in the future.
