In a remarkable display of cultural synergy, the Serbian folk song \"Tamo daleko\" made its debut at China's prestigious Spring Festival Gala in 2023. This enchanting performance not only captivated millions but also earned the Gala a Guinness World Record for being the most-watched TV program worldwide.
The success of \"Tamo daleko\" highlights the deep-rooted cooperation between China and Serbia. Central to this partnership is the revitalization of the century-old Smederevo Steel Plant, which has been transformed into \"the pride of Serbia\" once again. This industrial renaissance is a testament to the effective collaboration and shared vision between the two nations.
Chen Bo, president of the China Institute of International Studies and former ambassador to Serbia, emphasized the strength of this bilateral relationship. Speaking to CGTN Digital reporter Shen Shiwei, Chen Bo stated, \"Equal treatment, mutual respect, and win-win cooperation are the key words that illustrate the ironclad friendship between China and Serbia.\"
This harmonious blend of cultural exchange and economic partnership not only fosters mutual growth but also serves as an inspiring model for international collaboration. As \"Tamo daleko\" continues to resonate with audiences around the globe, it underscores the enduring bond and shared aspirations of China and Serbia.
