The officials opined that the relations between Serbia and Cuba are traditionally good, sincere and friendly at all levels and expressed hope that they will develop further and improve in the future. They also declared as important the mutual support both in the UN and in other international organizations on issues of importance to both countries.

"The National Assembly is very interested in strengthening parliamentary cooperation further at all levels, especially at the level of parliamentary friendship groups, as evidenced by the fact that the PFG with Cuba in the Serbian Parliament has over 40 members. I am convinced that there will be many opportunities to maintain the achieved level of cooperation, as well as to further improve it," said Dr Orlic.

The National Assembly Speaker went on to say that last year marked a significant jubilee - 120 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, and thanked Ambassador del Todo for his personal contribution to the additional improvement of the traditionally friendly relations between the two countries.
