Mutual support of Serbia, India internationally

Belgrade, 8 November 2019

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic and Indian Minister of Foreign Affairs Subrahmanyam Jaishankar underlined today that the relations between the two countries are traditionally good and that mutual support is taken for granted.

After meeting with Jaishankar, Dacic recalled that the traditionally good relations between the two countries date back from the period of the Non-Aligned Movement, pointing to the need to develop these relations in all segments, regardless of the disparity in the size of Serbia and India.

He underlined that India's support is of capital importance for Serbia, not only because it is one of the largest countries in the world, and the second largest in terms of population, but also because it is the fastest growing economy in the world.

India’s support regarding Kosovo-Metohija is very important to us and that India has an understanding for our problems and for our principled position on territorial sovereignty and integrity, Dacic said and added that Serbia has the same attitude towards the Kashmir issue.

He said that he also talked with the Indian Foreign Minister about trade and economic development, and concluded that there was great potential in that regard.

He said that it is important to improve cooperation in the field of pharmacy, IT and defence, and announced that India will participate at the Novi Sad Agricultural Fair, and that an India-Europe forum will be held soon.
