Beyond diplomacy, the two leaders agreed to broaden cooperation in fast-growing sectors.
Xi said China and Slovakia should explore new opportunities in artificial intelligence, robotics, the digital economy and clean energy. He also called for stronger cultural, tourism and youth exchanges, as well as easier travel between the two countries.
Pellegrini described China as one of Slovakia's key strategic partners and said Bratislava was ready to deepen cooperation in trade, innovation and investment.
He also welcomed greater investment by Chinese companies and reaffirmed Slovakia's support for dialogue between the European Union and China.
The Slovak president added that the two countries should strengthen cooperation on global challenges, including the governance of artificial intelligence, while continuing to work together to promote international peace and stability.
