As a key to state ties, people-to-people exchanges between the two also flourish. For example, a seminar on Xi Jinping: The Governance of China, a book that outlines the full political ideas of the top leadership, was recently held for the Czech Chamber of Deputies.
After reading the book, both Chinese and Czech political heavyweights and scholars praised the wisdom of the Chinese leadership in solving domestic and international roadblocks.
The Chinese people also feel a connection to Czech culture. Books such as The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera, The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka and The Good Soldier Švejk by Jaroslav Hašek are famous in China. Panda and Little Mole, a 52 episodes animation series produced by China and the Czech Republic, will soon be another product of their friendship.
This year also marks a year of China-CEEC people-to-people exchanges, which further provides opportunities for bilateral cultural communication, commented the article.
The rapid growth of China-Czech ties reflect China's closer ties with all the Central and Eastern European countries.
Over the last three years, from Warsaw to Bucharest, from Belgrade to Suzhou, "16+1" cooperation has been developing as fast as a high speed train.
Two important documents - the Mid-term Plan on China-CEEC Cooperation and the Suzhou Guidelines for China-CEEC Cooperation - were adopted last November, laying the roadmap for bilateral cooperation in the next five years. The partners are now striding towards peace, tranquility, development and prosperity.
As this year witnesses the start of China's 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20), also an important year to promote China-CEEC pragmatic cooperation, Xi's visit bears even more significance.
It will surly usher a better future for China-Czech friendship and China-CEEC cooperation.
