On October 13, 2026, H.E. Mme. Ambassador Jiang Xiaoyan visited Pehčevo Municipality and met with Mayor Aleksandar Kitanski.

Ambassador Jiang noted that China practices a system of multiparty cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, follows a people-centered development philosophy, and advances whole-process people's democracy. The views and aspirations of the people are fully integrated into policy-making, ensuring that democracy is broad-based, well-rounded, substantive, and effective. China stands ready to strengthen exchanges with North Macedonia on governance, contributing to local economic and social development as well as the improvement of people's well-being.

The two sides exchanged views on trade and investment, municipal cooperation, people-to-people exchanges, and human resources training. Following the meeting, they visited a youth table tennis training camp and spoke with coaches and young players.
