Prime Minister Professor Đuro Macut, MD, DSc, stated today that Serbia is ready to renew and further strengthen its relations with African countries in economic, cultural, tourism, educational and all other areas.
Speaking at the Museum of African Art in Belgrade, where the second day of the Afro Festival is taking place and the traditions and cultures of African countries are being promoted, Macut noted that Serbia proudly remembers its historic ties, when relations with African nations were particularly vibrant and marked by cultural, educational and economic cooperation.
In today’s times of global turbulence, Serbia recognises the need to re-establish old connections and build new friendships on the African continent, as well as with other countries inclined towards engagement with Africa, thereby creating a global world that is open and ready for cooperation, he said.
He expressed his pleasure at visiting the exhibition of African artworks, handicrafts and traditional food at the Museum of African Art, a place that symbolises the deep historical, cultural and friendly ties between Serbia and the African continent.
According to him, the Afro Festival offers new opportunities for cooperation, exchange of experiences and engagement with young people.
At the Museum of African Art in Belgrade, where 15 African countries are presenting their products today, Prime Minister Macut was welcomed by Algerian Ambassador to Serbia Fatah Mahraz and Museum Director Marija Aleksić.
Mahraz expressed his appreciation for the Prime Minister’s visit to the Afro Festival, traditionally organised by the Museum of African Art and the African Group.
