China and Serbia have solidified their relationship, developing what is being hailed as an \"ironclad friendship\" after decades of cooperation and partnership. In a special edition of the Hub from Serbia, Wang Guan engaged in a conversation with Li Ming, the Chinese Ambassador to Serbia, to explore the three foundational pillars underpinning China-Serbia cooperation.
The discussion highlighted the deepening economic and trade ties between the two nations, exemplified by the recent signing of the Free Trade Agreement in October 2023. This agreement marks a significant milestone in enhancing bilateral trade, fostering economic growth, and creating new opportunities for businesses in both countries.
Ambassador Li emphasized that the collaboration between China and Serbia is based on mutual respect and shared interests. Addressing Western accusations regarding China's political motives in Serbia, Ambassador Li affirmed that such claims are \"groundless.\" He reiterated that Serbia's decision to align with China's initiatives is a result of its own free will and strategic considerations, aiming to advance the nation's development and prosperity.
The strong ties between China and Serbia are expected to continue flourishing, driven by collaborative efforts in various sectors, including infrastructure, technology, and sustainable development. This partnership not only reinforces the bilateral relationship but also contributes to regional stability and economic integration.
