Xi reminisced about his 2016 visit to the plant, where he first bonded with workers over their shared vision for China-Serbia cooperation. Fast forward to today: the plant has flipped losses into profits, becoming a ‘striking epitome’ of Belt and Road success. ‘You’ve written a new chapter in our iron-clad friendship,’ he wrote, giving them a literal thumbs-up. 👍
The President highlighted how the workers’ hustle turned the plant into a local lifeline, securing families’ livelihoods and proving cross-border teamwork can smash goals. Thirty employees had reached out earlier, thanking Xi for his support – and his reply just went viral in diplomacy circles. 🌐
With nods to ‘high-quality cooperation’ and Serbia’s socio-economic growth, Xi’s message isn’t just about steel – it’s a blueprint for global friendships in action. 🚀 Who knew metalwork could be this wholesome?
