On 1 January 1993, the newly independent Slovakia was recognized by the PRC.[1]

Slovakia under the premiership of Robert Fico has been in favor of closer relations with China. His government voted against European Union tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) in 2024.[2] Fico visited China in 2024, where he called for expanded trade and invested cooperation and praised China's peace plans for Ukraine.[3]
