In the first seven months of 2026, the import and export volume between China Central and Eastern European Countries Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone and Central and Eastern European countries reached 37.35 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4%; The year-on-year growth rate of exports of electric vehicles and lithium batteries has both exceeded three times, and the advantage of new energy products has strongly driven the growth of foreign trade.

Currently, Ningbo is taking the opportunity of building the first China Central and Eastern European countries economic and trade cooperation demonstration zone, comprehensively promoting high-level opening up to the outside world, and striving to create the "preferred place" for importing goods from Central and Eastern Europe. With the orderly implementation of various innovative policies and mechanisms, the economic and trade cooperation between Ningbo and Central and Eastern European countries continues to deepen and solidify, ushering in a new stage of high-quality development and providing strong support for promoting China Central and Eastern European countries' cooperation to a higher level.Editor/Gong Ziwei
