Raising Serbia-China cooperation in field of defence to higher level

Belgrade/Beijing, 17 October 2023

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Milos Vucevic met today with Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China General Zhang Youxia, as part of the Third Forum for International Cooperation "Belt and Road" in Beijing, which he is attending as part of the official delegation of our country.

Vucevic said that Serbia leads an independent foreign policy and, despite all pressures, continues with a responsible policy of peace and stability, and added that our country remains committed to respecting international law and fully implementing the agreements reached so far.

He pointed out the importance of mutual interest in improving defence cooperation between Serbia and China.

He explained that military technical cooperation is the most developed segment of cooperation in the field of defence, with the assessment that the most concrete progress was made in this area in the previous period.

During the meeting, the modalities of cooperation in the segment of equipping unmanned aerial vehicles and air defence systems were also discussed, which are an important element of the defence of our airspace and our country.

The interlocutors also examined the possibility of further development of military-military cooperation, cooperation in the field of military medicine, as well as military educational cooperation.
