Xi Jinping pointed out that Poland is a major country in Central and Eastern Europe and an important member of the European Union. It is also China's comprehensive strategic partner in Europe. China has always attached great importance to the development of China-Poland relations. After the outbreak of the COVID-19, China and Poland helped each other and carried out good cooperation in epidemic prevention and control, resumption of work and production, and wrote a new chapter in the friendship between the two countries. Under the current situation, China and Poland need to strengthen strategic communication, deepen pragmatic cooperation, and jointly respond to various risks and challenges. China is willing to work with Poland to promote the stability and long-term development of China-Poland relations in the new year.

China is willing to provide Poland with vaccines within its capabilities in accordance with Poland's needs. During the epidemic, the volume and freight volume of China-Europe express trains to and from China and Poland hit a record high, reflecting the high interdependence of China-Poland and China-EU supply chains and the huge potential for economic and trade cooperation between the two sides. China will promote the import of more Polish high-quality agricultural and food products through the establishment of relevant mechanisms within the framework of cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European countries. The completion of China-EU investment agreement negotiations will open up a broader space for China-Poland cooperation.

Xi Jinping pointed out that the China-CEEC Video Summit was successfully held not long ago. I, together with you and other leaders of other countries, reviewed the development process of China-CEEC cooperation in depth, summed up development experience, looked forward to development prospects, and reached broad consensus, made important planning and guidance for the cooperation mechanism. China is willing to work with Poland to use this summit as a new starting point to promote cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European countries and achieve more results in China-EU relations.

Duda said that President Xi Jinping's state visit to Poland in 2016 has effectively promoted the development of Poland-China relations. Not long ago, President Xi Jinping successfully hosted the China-CEEC Video Summit, which is very important for promoting cooperation between Central and Eastern European countries and China and helping Central and Eastern European countries achieve economic recovery after the epidemic. Poland highly appreciates President Xi Jinping's commitment to China's commitment to making the COVID-19 vaccine a global public product and expressed its willingness to carry out vaccine cooperation with Central and Eastern European countries, which proves that China is playing a responsible role as a major power under the leadership of President Xi Jinping. Poland is willing to strengthen cooperation with China in the fight against the epidemic. China-Europe Class has played an important role in the fight against the epidemic. It is hoped that both sides will continue to maintain personnel exchanges and cooperation in various fields and promote balanced growth of bilateral trade. Poland is willing to continue to make contributions to the cooperation between Central and Eastern European countries and China. I look forward to visiting China again after the epidemic, and I am willing to maintain close and friendly exchanges with President Xi Jinping to jointly push Poland-China relations to a new level.
