Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic’s state visit to China is of historic significance, as this year marks the 10th anniversary of the China-Serbia comprehensive strategic partnership, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Tuesday at a regular press briefing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talking about China’s expectation for the future development of China-Serbia relations, Mao said the two heads of state spoke highly of the achievements made in building a China-Serbia community with a shared future in the new era and reiterated firm support for each other’s core interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They agreed to seek synergy between China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) and the Serbia 2030 development strategy and deepen political cooperation as well as cooperation in such areas as economy, science and technology, culture, tourism and education, Mao said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mao said that the two presidents share the view that in a fluid world with century-defining changes, China and Serbia need to strengthen strategic communication, practice true multilateralism, oppose hegemonism and power politics, and uphold international fairness and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
