BEIJING - China has voiced appreciation for Czech President Milos Zeman's efforts to defuse a row with Beijing over a visit by the head of the Czech Senate to Taiwan, which Mr Zeman called a"boyish provocation".
Noting that the sound development of bilateral relations serves the common interests of both countries, Mr Zhao said:"We hope to work together with the Czech Republic on the basis of mutual respect and equality to rise above disturbances and move relations forward." A delegation of about 90 Czech politicians, entrepreneurs, scientists and journalists led by senate speaker Vystrcil visited Taiwan from Aug 30 to Sept 4.
China, angered by Mr Vystrcil's trip, had said the Czech speaker would"pay a heavy price" for visiting Taiwan. "Minister Wang's statement has crossed the line, such strong words don't belong in relations between two sovereign countries," Czech Foreign Minister Tomas Petricek said on Twitter, calling for cooperation"without emotions which don't belong in diplomacy".
