Serbia proud of cooperation with African countries

Belgrade, 14 June 2019

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said today that Serbia and African countries, owing to numerous historical ties between our countries and nations, can build relations of not only closer cooperation and even greater understanding, but also relations of strategic partnership based on a peaceful and measured foreign policy, in line with the respect for international law and basic principles of the UN Charter.

On the occasion of marking the Day of Africa, Dacic emphasised that in Serbia there is a long tradition of celebrating the Day of Africa, which our African friends celebrate as their holiday, and since 2017 we officially mark 25 May as the Day of Friendship with the peoples of Africa.

He added that this day is a symbol of our sincere desire to nurture and care for relations with Africa, and that is why we decided to include it in the calendar of the most important days of the year.

The Republic of Serbia is proud of its cooperation with the African countries that dates back to the beginning of the formation of the Non-Aligned Movement, because our relations have always been based on solid foundations of unity, mutual understanding and support, cooperation and solidarity, Dacic pointed out.

For these reasons, our relations have a promising future, because the Republic of Serbia is strongly committed to developing comprehensive cooperation with African countries and, in accordance with its capabilities, is committed to further strengthening political and economic ties, but also the links in the field of culture, education, sports and other spheres of common interest, Dacic concluded.
