Republic of Macedonia has China's political support, and is open to new Chinese investments, said Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski after the meeting with Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao within Economic Forum Poland-Central Europe-China, held in Warsaw.

Gruevski said after the meeting that talks tackled the excellent bilateral political relations, but focused mostly on economy.

"We referred to numerous ongoing or future projects, such as Cebren and Galiste, Vardarska Dolina, Kozjak, tourism-related projects, as well as infrastructure investments", he added.

A Macedonian Government delegation is scheduled to visit China in May, in order to present the country's investment opportunities before Chinese companies.

"We are welcome to visit several cities and meet with numerous companies, thus contributing to the economic development between the two countries, leading to the attraction of more investors", stressed PM Gruevski.

According to him, China's political support is there, what remains is enhancement of business relations.

"We confirmed to the Chinese PM that our position over placing Chinese companies in a separate free economic zone or technological-industrial development zone still stands", said Gruevski.

He emphasized that politics gives the directions, messages, and encouragement, but the companies are the ones that need to pass an investment decision.

"This meeting represented a good overture to the coming road-show in China", underlined PM Gruevski.

In the framework of the economic forum, Gruevski also met late Thursday with host, Polish PM Donald Tusk.
