Vučić’s China Visit: China-Serbia Friendship Elevated, Trade Cooperation Embarks on New Journey

Intro

From May 24 to 28, 2026, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić came to China for an official state visit. The in-depth talks helped deepen the partnership between our two nations. Two countries have broken away from old cooperation patterns and built closer ties in all aspects. What two countries have achieved also serves as a great reference for China-Europe ties and global multilateral cooperation.

1. Equal and Trusted Partnership Based on Mutual Respect

China and Serbia never join any military or political alliances, nor do they take sides to confront other countries. During this visit, they released a joint statement to further build up mutual political trust.  Two countries always back each other up on core national issues and stay away from group conflicts. They treat each other as equals and respect their unique cultures. Such a friendly relationship has stayed solid over the years, showing how large and small countries can get along well with one another.  

2. All-round Cooperation Makes New Headways

2.1 Free Trade Policy Boosts Business Growth

The two sides have signed multiple cooperation papers. Their business cooperation is no longer just about selling and buying goods. They now work hand in hand on infrastructure projects, energy resources, fine chemical products and digital business. Thanks to the zero-tariff rule under our free trade deal, customs clearance now costs less and takes much less time. Their main products have won recognition in Serbia and the whole Balkan area, and their order volume keeps rising steadily.

2.2 More Exchanges Between People and Joint Actions Globally

Two countries now interact a lot more in culture, tourism and education. More people travel and work between the two countries, which has brought our ordinary citizens much closer. When it comes to international affairs, they choose to work with all parties rather than act alone.Two countries do not accept unfair sanctions or outside meddling. Together, two countries keep the region peaceful and work to improve the current global governance system.

3. A Vital Bridge Linking Asia and Europe

Sitting right in the heart of the Balkans, Serbia enjoys a great geographic location. Cooperation between China and Serbia has spread its influence across Central and Eastern Europe, becoming an important channel for trade between Asia and Europe. They focus on shared benefits instead of trying to gain advantages at others’expense. Their practical experience can help many other developing countries, and make the international community more diverse and inclusive.

China and Serbia share similar ideas on development, and they have no hard feelings left from history.Two countries stand together when it comes to protecting national sovereignty and fighting against hegemony. Their partnership does not rely on political alliances. It is built on genuine trust and shared interests, so it can easily get through tough times. It is a great example for all independent nations to cooperate with each other.
