I am confident that your current visit will inject new impetus into the continued advancement of China-Slovakia relations. The Chinese side stands ready to work with the Slovak side to forge a China-Slovakia strategic partnership based on mutual respect and trust, equality and mutual benefit, and stability and resilience, so as to bring greater benefits to the people of both countries," Xi said.
