Chinese President Xi Jinping has extended congratulations to Milos Zeman on his re-election as Czech president.
In his congratulatory message, President Xi said that the Czech Republic was among the first countries to recognize and establish diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China and bilateral ties have witnessed vibrant development and reaped bumper harvests in recent years.
"I attach great importance to the growth of Sino-Czech relations and am willing to continue joint efforts with you to lift bilateral strategic partnership to a higher level so as to better benefit the two countries and two peoples," the Chinese president said.
Milos Zeman was re-elected Czech president on Saturday, narrowly outpacing his rival Jiri Drahos in the election.
