During the expo, Slovakia presented its national pavilion for the first time."This is one of the steps in our efforts to boost cooperation and investment between China and Slovakia," Simoncic noted.He also mentioned the so-called "reciprocal tariffs" imposed by the United States against Europe, deeming the Chinese market as even more important for Slovak companies. "The Chinese market is very open to products from all over the world."Based on SARIO's experience, he noted, the agency witnessed that the Chinese government has provided lots of valuable support for foreign exports in the country, which is "very unique."SARIO successfully organized the first Slovak national stand featuring 12 enterprises at the 7th China International Import Expo in Shanghai last year.Currently, more and more Slovak companies are looking forward to taking part in various trade fairs across China to explore more business opportunities, Simoncic added.
