Slovakia visit to reap $110m in deals

China is expected to sign deals worth $110 million during President Hu Jintao's first official visit to Slovakia this week, the Slovak ambassador to China said last Friday.

Zigmund Bertok said the agreements will range from solar power, LCD screen TVs to rubber tires, which are "important in this time period" when Slovakia is feeling the impact of the global economic crisis.

Hu's June 18-19 visit will be a milestone in the history of the two country's bilateral relationship, he said.
