For Macedonia, heart of the Balkans connecting the region in all directions, Dejan Pavleski, deputy minister of Local Self-Government, said his party, the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDUM), was ready to cooperate to achieve prosperity and peace in the region.
"In Macedonia, and in a new government [led by SDUM], I can assure you that you will have a partner ready to cooperate based on the principles of mutual trust and respect, in order to create a new bright future and perspective for the countries of CEE, together with friends in the Far East, especially China."
A new planned railway line from the Greek port of Paralia to Budapest, via Serbia, will pass through Macedonia, said Pavleski. "Therefore, we are very interested in this dialogue, and a practical realization of that particular project."
The 2017 China-CEE Political Parties Dialogue, jointly held by the International Department of the Communist Party of China and Romania's Social Democrat Party, brought together 600 political party leaders, representatives and entrepreneurs from China and 16 CEE countries for better implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative.
