The press conference for the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) was held as scheduled at 3:00 p.m. on March 3 at the press briefing hall on the first floor of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
Before the event began, our reporter interviewed Mojca Pisek, a journalist from Slovenia's Delo who is in Beijing to cover the Two Sessions. Speaking with DotDotNews, Pisek said there is significant room to expand cooperation and investment, especially from Slovenia's side.
"I think it could be much more extensive—more invested, especially on our part," she said, adding that in her view, China is willing to collaborate with smaller countries in Eastern Europe that are also close to Western markets.
Pisek noted that while Slovenia is part of post-socialist Europe, it also sits in a Central European, even Western European, context, making it "a very interesting country to China." She also highlighted Slovenia's strong alignment with the European Union, explaining that the country often follows policies shaped by core EU members—primarily Germany and France—which, she said, is "not always to our benefit."
Looking ahead, Pisek pointed to potential areas for deeper cooperation, including major infrastructure projects, technology, and the automotive industry. She noted that Slovenian companies are already active in Europe's car manufacturing ecosystem, particularly through participation in the German automotive industry, and said expanding ties with China could help diversify Slovenia's economic portfolio.
As the Two Sessions agenda unfolds, she said she hopes to see more concrete opportunities emerge for pragmatic cooperation across sectors.
