“一带一路”倡议下中国与克罗地亚贸易投资合作研究

克罗地亚是马可·波罗的故乡，作为中东欧地区的重要国家、古丝绸之路的重要一站，对推动“一带一路”倡议的有效实施具有重要作用。本文基于2013—2020年中国与克罗地亚贸易投资合作数据，对“一带一路”背景下两国的贸易投资合作进展及其贸易投资中的互补性和竞争性进行分析。结论发现：中国在中国与克罗地亚的贸易投资合作中处于相对核心位置；中国与克罗地亚的贸易投资合作更具互补性，竞争性较弱，存在较大合作潜力。目前，中国与克罗地亚的贸易投资稳步发展，今后可进一步扩大中国与克罗地亚的贸易投资合作领域和范围，加强两国在优势产业、基础设施、旅游和服务外包项目等方面的合作。

STUDY ON TRADE AND INVESTMENT COOPERATION BETWEEN CHINAAND CROATIA UNDER THE BACKGROUND OF THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE

Croatia is the hometown of Marco Polo. As an important country in Central and Eastern Europe and an important stop on the ancient Silk Road, Croatia plays an important role in promoting the effective implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative. Based on the data of trade and investment cooperation between China and Croatia from 2013 through 2020, this paper analyzes the complementarity and competitiveness of trade and investment cooperation between China and Croatia. The results show that:Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Croatia in 1992, the cooperation in trade and investment between the two countries has developed steadily and achieved good results. In recent years, although the coronavirus has caused an all-around impact on global international trade, and the global trade in goods and services has shrunk substantially, trade and investment between China and Croatia have continued to increase. Moreover, China is at a relatively core position in China-Croatia trade and investment cooperation, while Croatia is at a relatively marginal position. Besides, the cooperation in trade and investment between China and Croatia is complementary and has great potential for future cooperation. At present, the trade and investment between China and Croatia is developing steadily, but there are still some problems. In view of the problems existing in the trade and investment cooperation between China and Croatia, this paper puts forward policy suggestions on further expanding cooperation in the fields of trade and cooperation between China and Croatia, and strengthening cooperation between both sides in competitive industries, infrastructure projects, tourism and service outsourcing.
