Chinese companies are interested in infrastructural projects in Poland, including road construction, high-speed railways and sea ports, as well as agriculture, according to Sun Yuxi, China's ambassador to Poland.

Poland's KGHM copper giant signed a deal with the China Mine Metal Corporation, and Poland's Ciech chemical group signed an agreement with the Chinese Sinochem Plastics. The content of the deals was not made public.

Polish copper giant KGHM, which exports a tenth of its production to China, opened a branch office in Shanghai last week.

The China Overseas Engineering Group (COVEC) has already won a contract in Poland to build 49.2 kilometres (30.5 miles) of the A2 highway linking Berlin and Warsaw.

COVEC was accused by European competitors of dumping, for undercutting the bids of European companies for the contract.

China is Poland's leading Asian economic partner with trade rising from 2.79 billion euros (3.91 billion dollars) in 2003 to 11.03 billion euros (15.48 billion dollars) in 2009.

The two countries signed the declaration on economic co-operation in Warsaw where a senior Chinese official met Polish leaders.

"It is an important signal, especially in relations with China, when an important personality in the hierarchy of power pays a visit," Poland's Economy Minister Waldemar Pawlak told reporters after signing the agrement.

Senior Chinese communist party official Jia Qinglin, who began a four-day visit to Poland Tuesday heading a trade delegation of 100 Chinese business leaders, met with Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Bronislaw Komorowski Wednesday.
