WARSAW, June 17 (Xinhua) -- A forum dedicated to enhancing economic cooperation and mutual understanding between China and Poland was held on Tuesday in Warsaw. The event attracted former senior politicians, scholars, and business representatives from both countries.

China is willing to collaborate with Poland to maintain an open and cooperative international environment and to contribute positively to global prosperity and stability, she said.

Former Polish Deputy Prime Minister Janusz Piechocinski noted that the world has grown more interconnected and Poland is following such a trend, serving as a key gateway to Europe.
