习近平主席抵达华沙 开始对波兰的国事访问

习近平欧亚大陆三国行的第二站是波兰。习近平是12年来首位访问波兰的中国领导人。

Poland is president Xi's second stop of his three-nation Eurasia tour. His visit marks the first by a Chinese head of state to Poland in 12 years. 

Poland sent fighter jets to escort Xi's plane once it entered the country's airspace. And the president and First Lady Peng Liyuan were greeted by Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski at the airport.

During his stay in Warsaw, President Xi is scheduled to hold talks with Polish President Andrzej Duda. He will also meet with Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo and attend a luncheon hosted by Polish parliamentary leaders. 

The two sides are expected to sign agreements in areas such as finance, civil aviation, science and technology, and education. 

Following Poland, Xi will travel to Uzbekistan for a state visit and attend a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
