Visiting Polish Foreign Minister Stefan Meller said
on Wednesday that Poland and China have agreed to set up cultural
centers in both countries to promote understanding between the two
peoples and bilateral cooperation.
At a news conference at the Polish Embassy in
Beijing, Meller said he met on Wednesday with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, Vice Chairwoman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee
Gu Xiulian, and Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing.
The two sides exchanged views on bolstering their
cooperation in trade, culture and technology, Meller said. They
also discussed exploring cooperation in agriculture, environmental
protection, coal industry and mining equipment.
Poland is interested in China's technologies,
Meller said. He found that the container monitor developed by
China's Tsinghua Tongfang Company could help his
country to fight against smuggling.
He hoped such Chinese companies would invest in
Poland and cooperate with Polish enterprises.
China is Poland's most important partner in Asia,
the foreign minister said, expressing the hope that his current
visit would further enhance bilateral exchanges in various fields
and push forward contact, in particular, between the youth of both
countries.
Meller arrived in Beijing on Tuesday for a
three-day official visit as a guest of Li Zhaoxing.
