Minister Djordjevic singled out the field of military-economic and military-technical cooperation as an important segment of the growing economic cooperation between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Serbia and stressed that the visit of the President of China Xi Jinping gave a powerful impetus to the further intensification of cooperation between the two friendly countries.On this occasion, the Agreement on cooperation in the field of defence industry was signed, which, along with the visit of our expert delegation to China, contributed to the creation of conditions for collaboration with CETC and other Chinese companies.
