In 2012, during the official visit of former Chinese prime minister Wen Jiabao in Poland, a “Warsaw Initiative” initiative was introduced that established the basis of cooperation between China and 16 European countries. Poland is the largest European country participating in this project. “The Chinese should notice a difference between sixteen countries in terms of economic assets”, said PAIiIZ president Sławomir Majman during a meeting with Polish journalists that preceded the series of incoming Polish – Chinese business events.
The first one – a matchmaking meeting – will be arranged on 26 May in Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency with the participation of companies representing machinery, mining, engineering and energy sectors from both countries. On 27 May, Hilton Hotel in Warsaw will hold Zhejiang – Poland Matchmaking Forum.
