Serbia - Recent

Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic and National Assembly Speaker Ana Brnabic recently extended their sincere congratulations to the People's Republic of China on its 75th anniversary of founding, hailing China's significant contributions to the world and the mankind over the past 75 years.

In an interview with the China Media Group (CMG), the two officials spoke highly of the progress China has made in its socioeconomic development, which, they noted, has impressed them a lot.

Cooperation between Serbia and China has brought valuable development opportunities to the landlocked country at the crossroads of Southeast and Central Europe, the Serbian officials said.

Brnabic highlighted that China's national development has not only benefited its own people, but also the rest of the world through initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative.
