On February 17, 2024 local time, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić met with Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference (MSC).

Wang Yi first conveyed cordial greetings from President Xi Jinping, saying that China-Serbia relations have withstood the tests of drastic international changes and forged a sincere and profound friendship. China firmly believes that President Aleksandar Vučić will lead the Serbian people to make greater achievements on the path to national development and revitalization. China cherishes its solid friendship and mutual trust with Serbia, and stands ready to strengthen high-level exchanges and plan for future cooperation with Serbia, take China-Serbia relations to new heights, and open a new chapter of solidarity and cooperation between the two countries.

Aleksandar Vučić asked Wang Yi to convey his sincere greetings to President Xi Jinping, and expressed his gratitude for China's consistent respect for Serbia, its support for Serbia's efforts in safeguarding national sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, and its valuable assistance in Serbia's economic and social development. Noting that Serbia signed a free trade agreement with China last year, Aleksandar Vučić said that trade and investment between the two countries have increased rapidly, and large-scale infrastructure projects progressed smoothly. Although it is a small country, Serbia adheres to independence and self-reliance, and will continue to be a trustworthy and reliable friend of China and jointly take bilateral relations to a new level.

Wang Yi said that the robust China-Serbia cooperation is in line with the long-term interests of both sides, noting that a country, no matter big or small, can win reputation and respect from all parties in the international community as long as it maintains a firm and unyielding character. China will continue to firmly support Serbia in safeguarding its sovereignty security and territorial integrity, which is not only to consolidate the ironclad friendship between China and Serbia, but also to oppose separatist acts, safeguard the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and defend international equity and justice.

On the sidelines of the MSC, Wang Yi also met in succession with UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell Fontelles, French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Stéphane Séjourné, Argentine Foreign Minister Diana Mondino, Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, Mongolian Foreign Minister Battsetseg Batmunkh, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, and others.
