The 16+1 mechanism is a platform created in April 2017 by China and 16 Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries.

Zhang encouraged the two countries to explore cooperation on major projects of transportation infrastructure, continue cooperation in areas of aviation, electromechanical production, new energy vehicles, and increase attention and investment into the information technology and innovation.

Statistics from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce showed that bilateral trade reached 2.7 billion U.S. dollars in 2016, up 30 percent year on year. Currently, China is the biggest trade partner of Slovenia in Asia.

China and Slovenia are good partners of mutual trust, Zhang said. He spoke highly of the development of bilateral ties since the two nations forged diplomatic relations 25 years ago, adding the relationship sets a good example of cooperation between countries of different political systems, development paths and culture.

Pahor said Slovenia has always adhered to the policy of developing ties with China and to the one-China policy.

He said Slovenia speaks highly of Chinese President Xi Jinping's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in January.

Slovenia advances free trade and firmly supports the European Union in deepening ties with China, Pahor said.

The president added that Slovenia is satisfied with the high-level of mutual trust with China and full of confidence in the future of bilateral ties.
