In a significant move, China's top legislator Zhao Leji visited Switzerland, urging both nations to deepen their innovative strategic partnership. During his goodwill visit from Monday to Thursday, he emphasized that mutual respect and trust are the foundations of a long-lasting relationship.
Switzerland was one of the first Western countries to establish diplomatic ties with China. Over 75 years of cooperation have built a win-win model based on equality and innovation. Zhao highlighted the need to upgrade the free trade agreement, enhance financial collaboration, and welcome more Swiss investment in the Chinese mainland. 🚀
He also called for expanding cooperation in arts, sports, education, and local governance—areas that resonate with today’s fast-paced, tech-savvy, and culturally diverse audiences. This joint vision not only strengthens economic ties but also paves the way for vibrant cultural exchanges and global cooperation. 🤝🌏
The initiative is a reminder that countries with different social systems and development stages can come together to create opportunities for growth, innovation, and cultural enrichment, setting a dynamic example for our interconnected world.
