Mr. Chen Ruishang spoke to Council President Nikolić about Lishui’s economic potentials, expressing his gratitude to Serbian institutions for their past support to the residents of Zhejiang living and working in Serbia. “China is working hard to protect the environment. I would like to point out, in particular, that the policy of Lishui rests on the principle of accelerated economic development, with special emphasis on the struggle for environmental protection. The enhancement of trading cooperation with Serbian cities is the main goal of our visit”, he underlined.

In his talks with the Lishui delegation, Council President Nikolić expressed his expectation that the Sino-Serbian urban cooperation would flourish, in the mutual interest. “The Serbia-China economic cooperation is increasingly going hand in hand with the extraordinary political relations and the genuine friendship existing between our two peoples”, Mr. Nikolić underscored.
