The Ambassador of the Republic of Croatia to the People's Republic of China Dario Mihelin, held a meeting with the Vice President of Air China Yan Fei, as part of renewed efforts to introduce direct air connections between Croatia and China, that started at the beginning of 2023, after the Chinese international aviation market gradually returned to normal.
