National Assembly Deputy Speaker Marina Ragus, who is also the head of the Parliamentary Friendship Group with China, emphasised that the two countries have a strong and growing partnership that encompasses various areas, including indispensable cooperation at the parliamentary level. She said that in addition to the continuous exchanges of parliamentary delegations, the meetings of the Serbian National Assembly-Chinese National People's Congress Cooperation Commission play a special role, providing a forum for discussions on various issues of common interest and strengthening parliamentary ties. She added that Serbia and China also have a growing economic partnership, and that the parliaments contribute to fostering a favourable environment for trade and investment.

The Chair of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries Yang Wanming used the opportunity to thank the National Assembly Deputy Speaker for her efforts to deepen the dialogue between the parliaments of the two countries and for the support Serbia provides to China in international forums. He expressed the view that the comprehensive partnership enjoyed by the two countries is a reflection of cooperation at a practical level and called for deepening cooperation at local levels.

The officials agreed to continue to cooperate through international organisations and forums, especially when it comes to topics of common interest, and to continue promoting peace and stability, especially in these times of global geopolitical crisis.

They also agreed that both sides will continue to make efforts to further strengthen communication and cooperation between the two countries and that they will continue to explore new forms of cooperation, through strengthening the existing partnership.

The meeting was also attended by members of the Parliamentary Friendship Group with China, MPs Biljana Pantic Pilja and Aleksandar Mirkovic.
