The 16+1 cooperation mechanism, viewed by China as an important part of and useful supplement to the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership, was inaugurated in Warsaw in April 2012.
All CEE countries are important partners for building the Belt and Road, according to Zhang Haizhou, the Chinese Ambassador to Bulgaria.
