China proposed three points in Warsaw on Friday to boost its
economic and trade cooperation with Poland, vowing to tap the huge
potential out in the two-way trade relations.
The trade cooperation between China and Poland scored rapid
growth in the recent years, however, there is still potential could
be further explored, said visiting Chinese top legislator Wu Bangguo in his meeting with Polish Prime
Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski.
Wu, chairman of the Standing Committee of China's National
People's Congress (NPC), made a three-point proposal for the two
countries to step up economic and trade cooperation, which
including optimization of the two-way trade structure, expansion of
cooperation fields and promotion of the mutual investment.
China will encourage Chinese companies to import Polish products
and hopes Polish businesses will also actively integrate into
Chinese market, Wu said, calling for giving a full play to the
bilateral joint economic and trade commission between the two
countries to coordinate trade cooperation and help increase mutual
understanding between the two markets.
Wu also encouraged the Polish business community to seize the
opportunity such as 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and 2010 Shanghai
World Expo to further the cooperation in fields like infrastructure
construction.
Thirdly, Wu said that Chinese government always encourages
Chinese companies to invest and develop their business in Poland
and jointly explore European market with their Polish business
partners.
Investment from Poland will also be very much welcomed, Wu
added.
Responding to Wu's proposal, Kaczynski expressed his agreement
with Wu's views on how to promote the bilateral trade cooperation,
noting that China has already played a very important role in the
world market and Poland always regards China as one of the most
important cooperation partners.
Poland has its highly opened market which possesses its natural
attraction for the foreign investment, Kaczynski said, adding that
the Polish side is very interested in the proposal that Wu made to
expand the bilateral cooperation in the fields like infrastructure
construction, investment and finance.
Poland welcomes Chinese companies to increase their investment
in the country and the Polish government will offer convenience and
create favorable conditions for them, the Polish prime minister
promised.
At the invitation of Polish parliament's lower house speaker
Ludwik Dorn, Wu arrived in Warsaw on Thursday noon. It is the first
time for a top Chinese legislator to visit Poland.
Poland is the last leg of Wu's three-nation visit, which has
already taken him to Egypt and Hungary.
