On May 11, Ge Haijiao, Chairman of Bank of China Limited, met with Klemen Boštjančič, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance of Slovenia, at the Bank’s Head Office in Beijing. They held in-depth discussions on further expanding cooperation across global capital markets, promoting stronger economic, trade and financial ties between the two countries and other topics. Yang Jun, Executive Vice President of Bank of China Limited, and Boštjan Malovrh, Slovenian Ambassador to China, also attended the meeting.
In March 2026, Bank of China served as lead underwriter and lead bookrunner for Slovenia’s Ministry of Finance’s panda bond debut, the largest inaugural sovereign offering to date in the Panda bond market and a milestone in bilateral financial collaboration. Both sides agreed to work more closely in bond underwriting and cross-border finance, adding to the scope and strategic significance of the China-Slovenia partnership while advancing the wider China-CEEC cooperation and high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.
