Belgrade/Tokyo,
29 August 2025
Đurić said that Japan is one of Serbia’s strategic economic partners, as evidenced by the increasingly dynamic trade and the growing inflow of Japanese investments into Serbia.
The Minister also informed his interlocutor about the current situation in Serbia’s southern province, emphasising the importance of respecting the principles of international law, as well as protecting the fundamental human rights of the Serb population, which is seriously threatened by the latest escalating moves by Priština.
He pointed to intensive economic cooperation, adding that the partnership between the two countries is also reflected in other areas, particularly highlighting the solidarity and assistance that Japan selflessly provided to Serbia in difficult times, for which the Serbian people are very grateful.
Đurić also spoke today with President of the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Susumu Kataoka about the modalities of developing economic ties between the two countries and assistance in further promoting Serbia as an excellent destination for Japanese investments.
He assessed that economic cooperation between Serbia and Japan is characterised by growing trade and an increasing inflow of investments from Japanese companies year in year out, noting that Japanese businesspeople can always count on a friendly business environment in Serbia.
Đurić also pointed out Serbia’s activities as a member and current chair of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) in 2025.
He emphasised that Serbia, which aspires to be the regional leader in innovative technologies, is open and ready to work with Japan, as a world leader in the field of innovation, to realise the influx of new investments from Japanese companies in high-tech manufacturing sectors.
