Belgrade/New York, 21 September 2022

Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Selakovic had a great number of meetings as part of activities on the second day of his participation in the 77th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

In one day, Selakovic had shorter or longer meetings with 27 ministers of foreign affairs, during which topics from the field of bilateral cooperation were touched on, as well as current geopolitical topics.

Selakovic had longer bilateral meetings with the ministers of foreign affairs of Saint Lucia, Malta, Armenia, Senegal, Somalia, Kuwait, Georgia, Laos and Costa Rica.

Those talks were an opportunity to present concrete proposals for the improvement of bilateral cooperation, as well as to exchange information and views on today's biggest international challenges, such as the crisis in the supply of food and energy.

One of the dominant topics in yesterday's talks was the situation in Kosovo and Metohija and Serbia's efforts to fight for the protection of its state and national interests, in accordance with international law, by peaceful and political means.

During this dynamic day in New York, two more international agreements were signed - on cooperation in the field of sports with Kuwait and cooperation in the field of agriculture with Senegal.

The Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs was also invited to participate in the meeting "Young Ministers of Foreign Affairs", which was hosted by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

Ten ministers spoke about their experiences at the head of national diplomacy, as well as the role of successful politicians of the new generation in creating peaceful and stable geopolitical relations.

In addition to the Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs and the hosts from Pakistan, the gathering was also attended by representatives of Hungary, the Czech Republic, Qatar, Canada, Lichtenstein, Lithuania, Panama and other.

Minister Selakovic ended his second working day in New York with a trilateral working dinner with the foreign ministers of Greece and Cyprus, according to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
