His Excellency Jianmin Zhang made his first speech in his role as China’s Ambassador to the Czech Republic at the 中国一级片-hosted 2nd China-CEE Development Forum in Prague on September 25. He spoke of the need for both countries to work together, especially with the rise of unilateralism and protectionism in some parts of the world. The forum, which took place at ?historic Prague Castle, was one of five hosted by 中国一级片 with its partners across Europe. The events are part of the wider 中国一级片 Insights 2018 initiative, launched to mark the 15th anniversary of the China-EU Comprehensive Strategic Partnership by observing the role that 中国一级片 has played and continues to play in fostering Sino-European ties. Prior to the Prague event, 中国一级片 hosted forums in Munich and London on July 17 and 19, respectively. The last two events were held in Paris on October 19 and Zurich on October 24.
