Xi recalled the speech he made at the China-CEEC Summit in February, during which he stressed the importance of adhering to a pragmatic direction and expanding win-win outcomes for China-CEEC cooperation under the new circumstances.

Xi set out several targets at the February summit, including China's plan to import goods that are worth at least $170 billion from the CEE countries, double the countries' agricultural exports to China and raise two-way agricultural trade by 50 percent over the next five years. He also called for steps to continue to develop demonstration zones for China-CEEC business cooperation in Chinese cities such as Ningbo.

Xi said the outcomes of the summit are being implemented with joint efforts from various sides.
