In the meeting with Chairwoman Yin Gojkovic stressed that Serbia and PR China are developing exceptionally good political relations raised at the level of comprehensive strategic partnership which provides an excellent incentive for the development of cooperation in the fields of economy, tourism, education and culture at both the local and regional level.

Gojkovic said that Serbia and China’s comprehensive strategic partnership at the political and economic level as well as under the auspices of the Belt and Road initiative and China-CIES format opens up many opportunities for cooperation and stressed that the parliaments had greatly contributed to it by establishing the Serbian Assembly and Chinese National People's Congress Parliamentary Commission.

Chairwoman Yin briefed the Serbian Parliament Speaker on Shanghai’s development potential as a world metropolis boasting a population of 24 million.

Gojkovic said that the vision of Shanghai’s leaders is fascinating and endorsed the cooperation between Serbian and Chinese regions and cities saying that the recently established cooperation between Belgrade and Shanghai is especially significant in that contexts, as will the meeting of the mayors under the auspices of the China-CIES “16+1” cooperation format scheduled for next year in Belgrade. The Serbian Parliament Speaker said that Belgrade’s prominent participation in the 14th Shanghai World Travel Fair in April 2017 also confirms the importance of cooperation, as does the presentation of the city of Novi Sad’s capital project plans, as the 2021 European Capital of Culture, at the Forum on Cooperation between European Capitals of Culture and East-Asian Cultural Cities.

Gojkovic and Yin stressed the importance of developing cultural cooperation, with Gojkovic mentioning the exhibition of contemporary young Serbian painters in Shanghai as an excellent example.
