Little Czech Mole,Deep Affection From

Do you remember the little animated character in The Mole? The famous mole has lived for over 86 years in this animation movie which was made by Studio Bratri v- triku,Czech.When I was still a child,I was a crazy fan of this kind-hearted but a little silly mole.I even knew how to say it in Czech:krtek! Because of that mole,I began to fall in love with Czech.After China's Foreign Trade did an interview with Am- bassador of the Czech Repulic to China,H.E.Dr.Vitezslav Grepl, also an old friend of the Magazine, I have more reasons to have affec- tion towards this country. H.E.Dr.Vitezslav Grepl has been the Ambassador of the Czech Repulic to China for about 3 years.Besides his mother tongue, he can also speak very good English,Swed- ish,Finnish and Russian.He was fond of old map collection.In the exhibition room of the Embassy,we could found many previous art works he collected.From his proud smile when he shown us the old Chinese map he collected,I suddenly knew why I could like that little mole so much. Former Czechoslovakia estab- lished former diplomatic relations with People's Republic of China only 5 days after its foundation. During those years,we witnessed together the good relationship be- tween China and Czech Republic. In December 2005,Premier Wen Jiabao visited this beautiful Czech, honored"garden of Mid-Europe". On August 31 this year,the 7th Meeting of Sino-Czech Joint Economic Com- mission was held in Prague.Both sides had an all-round review of the bilateral economic re- lations.By more exchanging activities,China and Czech are walking closer to each other.
