China announces visa-free entry for Slovenian citizens, boosting diplomatic, economic, and cultural relations between the two nations.
In a significant diplomatic move, China has announced that it will grant visa-free entry to Slovenian citizens, a decision aimed at strengthening ties between the two nations. The announcement was made by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi during a meeting with Slovenian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, Tanja Fajon, on Wednesday in New York.
Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, shared the news with great enthusiasm, noting that the visa-free entry is “good news” for both countries. He emphasized that this policy will enhance people-to-people exchanges, fostering deeper friendship and mutual trust between China and Slovenia.
Fajon expressed her gratitude for China’s decision, describing it as a “big positive” step. She emphasized that the visa-free arrangement would not only facilitate travel and cultural exchange but also contribute to stronger economic and trade ties between the two countries.
Strengthening Multilateral Cooperation
During the meeting, Wang Yi acknowledged Slovenia’s role as a key member of the European Union and extended China’s support for Slovenia’s assumption of the rotating chair of the United Nations Security Council this month. China, he said, is committed to working with Slovenia to implement true multilateralism, uphold the authority of the United Nations and the Security Council, and contribute to international peace and security.
As the rotating chair of the UN Security Council, Slovenia aims to maintain close coordination with China, Fajon noted. She also highlighted Slovenia’s intention to collaborate with China on resolving key international conflicts, including the Ukraine crisis and the conflict in Gaza, signaling a shared commitment to peace and security.
Shared Views on Global Conflicts
Both leaders exchanged views on pressing global issues, particularly the Ukraine crisis and the ongoing conflict in Gaza. They agreed on the importance of pursuing political solutions and affirmed the Security Council’s responsibility to address such crises. Both China and Slovenia emphasized the need for the Security Council to play a pivotal role in resolving these conflicts.
This visa-free entry decision marks a new chapter in China-Slovenia relations, fostering not only deeper diplomatic ties but also encouraging broader cooperation across various sectors, including trade, tourism, and global governance.
