    "Trade between China and CEEC has been growing at 8.1 percent annually since 2012, when a new generation model of the bilateral cooperation platform was launched, with China’s imports from CEEC expanding 9.2 percent annually."

    "Another highlight of bilateral cooperation is centered on the construction of transportation and basic infrastructure projects, such as the Chinese-built highway in Montenegro, Peljesac Bridge in Croatia and the construction of the Budapest-Belgrade railway."

    "Also, CEEC countries including Poland, Hungary and Slovakia have become important nodes and destinations of China-Europe freight trains, a flagship connectivity project under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Last year, a total of 16,000 China-Europe freight trips were made, up 9 percent year-on-year."
