In Pictures: Ningbo and Kladno – Industrial roots, modern links

Economic and trade relations between China and Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) are advancing steadily, with expanding opportunities for cooperation. The 4th China-CEEC Expo in Ningbo offers an important platform for efficient collaboration and mutual benefit.

Kladno has a long industrial history and was once a major heavy industrial center in the Czech Republic. In recent years, it has gradually shifted from traditional industries to the service and light industries. With its strategic location near Prague and the international airport, Kladno has become a magnet for foreign investment. Notably, it is home to one of the LEGO Group's largest production facilities worldwide.

As sister cities, Ningbo and Kladno have continued to deepen their cooperation in the fields of economy and trade. The upcoming expo provides a platform for further friendly collaboration, with frequent exchanges and a steadily maturing cooperation mechanism.
