On 25 October 2020, on the initiative of the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Shanghai, the 'Visegrad Sunday' was organised in Shanghai.

Promotion of the Visegrad Group countries in China, its culture, tourism and business contacts is the main objective of the magazine. The magazine is created in cooperation with consulates of V4 countries, tourism organizations and chambers of commerce. Polish institutions involved in the preparation of the first edition include: Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Shanghai (initiator of the project), Foreign Trade Office of Polish Agency for Investments and Trade (PAIH) in Shanghai and the Polish Tourism Organisation in Beijing.
The “Visegrad Sunday” took place in the form of a picnic, during which promotional materials about the V4 group states (including “VE”) and balloons with the logo of the Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group specially prepared for the event were distributed.
