bne IntelliNews – Xi Jinping announces strategic partnership between China and Slovakia
Slovakia and China have taken their bilateral relations to a new level of strategic partnership, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced during a visit by populist Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico on November 1.
The deal represents another success in Beijing's strategy to shore up support from European Union member states in Central and Eastern Europe, thereby preventing any possible united EU policy against China, following the announcement of an agreement. similar agreement with Hungary in May.
The visit to China has a strategic character and expresses mutual respect between the two countries, Fico stressed on his Facebook page, where he also published photos of his visit.
Fico is accompanied by eight ministers and 66 companies and professional associations, according to the Central European Institute of Asian Studies (CEIAS), but few details have been released since Fico left Bratislava on October 31. Czech Press Agency indicated that no journalists accompanied the delegation.
The Ficos visit is taking place rather secretly, commented the head of CEIAS in Bratislava, Matej imalk, on his LinkedIn profile, adding that neither the official agenda, nor the list of members of the delegation, nor the list of accompanying persons have not been officially announced.
Although he proclaims himself a socialist, Fico is an open supporter of Hungary's radical-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban and often copies his model, in this case strengthening ties with the Chinese communist regime in order to win future investment deals and commercial.
Hungary is the the largest recipient of Chinese foreign direct investment in recent years and has at times blocked a united EU foreign policy stance towards Beijing, proclaiming that it takes a pragmatic stance in the country's interests and does not want to interfere in China's internal affairs. Building relations with Beijing and maintaining open channels with Vladimir Putin's Russia are also seen as a way to rebalance Hungary's foreign policy and show often-critical Brussels that the country has other options.
The head of the CEIAS office in Prague, Filip Ebok, wrote on his X account that Fico expressed support for China's three global initiatives (global development, civilization and security) and opposed unilateralism and hegemonism.
Ebok also noted that there had been discussions on Ukraine, with both sides praising each other's positions and that Fico had stated that Slovakia was ready to join the Friends of Peace group on Ukraine and to contribute to the political resolution of the conflict with China.
After forming his left-right cabinet, Fico reoriented Slovak foreign policy from a strong supporter of Ukraine to a pro-Kremlin stance, calling for peace negotiations with the latter.
Before leaving for China, Fico appeared on Russian propaganda channel Rossiya 1 in an unprecedented interview, calling for security guarantees for Russia.
