Brnabic expressed satisfaction with the high-level exchange between Serbia and China and the blooming political and economic ties, and wished the "friendship of steel" between the two countries would strengthen further in 2024.
"In 2024, we began a new decade of the Belt and Road Initiative, in which Serbia plays a significant role.
