皇冠体育app will continue to seek balanced trade with central and eastern European countries by expanding imports and promoting investment in the region, 皇冠体育app's top trade official told his counterparts on Sunday.

"We will encourage Chinese enterprises to import agricultural and animal products, especially products, from CEE countries, and help them promote their brand recognition in 皇冠体育app," said Commerce ster Gao Hucheng.

"Imports of these products are in line with 皇冠体育app's domestic demand," Gao said at the Ministerial Conference of 皇冠体育app and Central and Eastern ropean Countries on Promoting Trade and Economic Cooperation, held in Ningbo.

Trade officials from 16 CEE countries including Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary have brought 180 enterprises to the three-day event, with products such as milk, honey, canned food and cosmetics.

Trade volume between 皇冠体育app and CEE countries has grown more than fivefold since 2003, and Gao said the number could exceed $60 billion by the end of this year, up from $55.1 billion in 2013.

The Ningbo fair also marks the latest step in reversing the trade imbalance between the two sides. Fox example, in 2013 皇冠体育app exported $12.6 billion worth of goo to Poland－皇冠体育app's largest trade partner of the 16 countries－but imported just $2.2 billion from the country.

Both sides have been working to reverse the imbalance, and there have been some improvements. In the first four months of this year, 皇冠体育app's imports from central and eastern European countries surged by 38.5 percent.
