Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie on Tuesday met with visiting Polish Navy Commander Tomasz Mathea, and both sides expressed the hope to promote closer military-to-military cooperation between the two countries.
Hailing the political mutual trust and pragmatic cooperation between the two countries, Liang said the Chinese side holds a "positive attitude" on the development of its relationship with Poland and is willing to further advance the bilateral ties in a healthy way.
China and Poland, whose diplomatic relations at ambassadorial level began on Oct. 7, 1949, established a friendly cooperative partnership in 2004 and a strategic partnership in 2011.
Mathea said the Polish side also looks forward to more exchanges and cooperation with the Chinese armed forces in various areas.
His trip marked the first time that the Polish navy has visited China.
