Citizens of Serbia already see results of initiative "Belt and Road"
Belgrade,
10 December 2018
Participating in the third international conference of the Belgrade Strategic Dialogue "Belt and Road Initiative in the Balkans", Brnabic said that Chinese companies saved 5,000 jobs only in Smederevo and that in RTB Bor, where a strategic partner from China was selected, 5,000 work places will be saved directly and 25,000 indirectly.
She reminded that the Serbian Cultural Centre "Ivo Andric" opened in Beijing on 29 November, the second one in the world after Paris, and added that she is eagerly waiting for the opening of the Chinese Cultural Centre in Belgrade.
Brnabic pointed out that when the world is increasingly promoting mistrust in the world, it is a pleasure to be at a conference that promotes open dialogue, and that it is an honour for Serbia to engage in such a kind of dialogue on an equal footing with China.
A consistent policy of a stretched arm and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries has made China a great friend and sincere partner of all who share the same kind of benevolent attitude towards the world, the Prime Minister underlined.
She said that, thanks to the diligent work and extraordinary relations of the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and the President of China Xi Jinping, the relations between Serbia and China are at a historic peak today.
Let us unite our strengths the way friends do it to the satisfaction of each other, Brnabic said and stressed that the government will continue to support joint projects.
