China one of most important partners in economic development of Serbia

Belgrade, 9 February 2024

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said today, at the celebration of the Chinese New Year in Belgrade, that Beijing has become one of the most important partners in the economic development of our country.

Brnabic, on the eve of the New Year's countdown on the Sava Promenade in Belgrade Waterfront, pointed out that this event is not only an opportunity to have fun and enjoy art, but is an important step towards strengthening cultural ties between our countries.

According to her, cooperation is strengthening not only in the cultural field, but is deepening in various areas.

The Prime Minister expressed her gratitude for China's firm position not to recognize the unilaterally declared independence of the so-called Kosovo, stating that the representatives of that country once again showed their commitment and support to Serbia at yesterday's session of the United Nations Security Council.

Brnabic wished a happy Chinese New Year and a happy Serbian-Chinese steel friendship and presented Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Serbia Li Ming with a postage stamp with Dragon motifs.

The ceremony, followed by a countdown at the Belgrade Tower, began at 5 pm Serbian time, when the clock struck midnight in Beijing.

In Serbia, the official celebration of the Chinese New Year and transition to the "Year of the Dragon" is organised by the government of Serbia, the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Serbia and the Belt and Road Institute.

The celebration started on 29 January in Nis, and was later celebrated in Novi Sad and Smederevo.

The festivities end on 19 February, when a concert by the Chinese National Traditional Orchestra is scheduled at the Ilija Kolarac Foundation in Belgrade.
