Trade officials from China and several central eastern European countries gather in Ningbo China for a two day meeting to discuss ways to enhance trade and investment cooperation among one another.

The China-CEEC Ministerial Meeting on Promoting Trade and Economic Cooperation will also feature trade delegations from around 260 companies showcasing new products and technologies in 3D printing, holograms and electric cars. Officials say the meeting will produce a Ningbo Manifesto, which will call for collaborations under China's Belt and Road Initiatives in areas such as equipment manufacturing and infrastructure financing.
