In a landmark move, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Serbian leader Aleksandar Vučić announced plans to build a community with a shared future during Xi's state visit this week. Serbia becomes the first European country to elevate ties with China to this level, marking a major milestone in their 'ironclad' friendship. 🚀
Ambassadors from both nations highlighted the partnership's impact: over 8 million passengers have ridden the Hungary-Serbia Railway, a flagship Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project connecting Europe and Asia. 'This isn't just about trains—it's about jobs, trade, and turbocharging Serbia's development,' said China's envoy Li Ming.
Serbian analyst Ivona Ladjevac called the railway a 'game-changer,' enabling faster cargo transport between continents. Meanwhile, former ambassador Chen Bo praised its role in boosting urban integration. 🚅💼
With 8 years of exponential growth under their strategic partnership, this upgrade signals deeper tech and infrastructure collaboration. As Serbia's envoy Stefanovic put it: 'This visit isn't just diplomacy—it's history in motion.' 📈✨
