Xi Jinping attended President Vucic’s farewell speech
Belgrade, May 8 (Xinhua) On the afternoon of May 8, local time, as President Xi Jinping was about to conclude his state visit to Serbia, Serbian President Vucic and his wife Tamara paid a farewell party to Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan at the Peace Villa in Belgrade.
In early summer, the sky is clear and the air is clear. President Vucic and his wife warmly welcomed Xi Jinping and Peng Liyuan at the Peace Villa.
The two heads of state and their spouses went to the balcony to overlook the city of Belgrade. Vucic introduced to Xi Jinping the history and development changes of Belgrade in recent years, and thanked Chinese enterprises and workers for their important contributions to Serbia's infrastructure and urban construction. Vucic said that China has always been a great country. In recent years, China has developed rapidly, its status and role as a major country have been greatly respected, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is unstoppable. In this process, President Xi Jinping’s profound wisdom, strategic vision and excellent leadership have played an irreplaceable and important role. China is not only committed to its own development, but also helps Serbia and other countries develop together. Serbia is willing to continue to strengthen cooperation with China and work together to realize their dreams of national development.
Xi Jinping pointed out that China is a great country with a splendid civilization of more than 5,000 years. Our generation and the new generation of young people are determined to strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We not only seek the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but also seek happiness for the people of the world. We not only pursue our own development, but are also committed to achieving common development with other countries in the world. This is my original intention of building a community with a shared future for mankind. A strong China is by no means a threat to the world. China is willing to strengthen cooperation with countries around the world, including Serbia, and seek common development.
Vucic once again thanked President Xi Jinping for his state visit to Serbia and expressed his reluctance to leave. Vucic said that Serbia has made unprecedented special arrangements to receive President Xi Jinping's visit, and hopes that President Xi Jinping can feel the Serbian people's deep friendship for the Chinese people, especially the high respect for President Xi Jinping. We thank China for its valuable help to Serbia and hope to take President Xi Jinping’s historic visit as an opportunity to elevate Serbia-China relations to a new height.
Xi Jinping thanked President Vucic and his wife for their warm hospitality. Xi Jinping said that although my visit this time was short, it was very pleasant and touching, and once again left an unforgettable impression. The visit was rich in content, of great significance and a complete success. The iron-clad friendship between China and Serbia has a firm foundation of public opinion. I look forward to continuing to maintain close communication with President Vucic and work together to write a new chapter in China-Serbia relations, lead China-Serbia relations and the construction of a community with a shared future between China and Serbia in the new era to achieve more results, and benefit the two peoples.
Later, President Vucic and his wife accompanied Xi Jinping and Peng Liyuan to the airport, and saw Xi Jinping off at the airport with Serbian Speaker of Parliament Brnabic, Prime Minister Vucevic, Foreign Minister Djuric and others. On the way to the airport, local people and overseas Chinese waved the national flags of China and Serbia on both sides of the road to warmly congratulate President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan on their successful visit to Serbia.
After Xi Jinping's special plane took off, two Serbian air force fighter jets took off to escort him.
That night, Xi Jinping left Serbia by special plane for Budapest and began a state visit to Hungary at the invitation of Hungarian President Šuyuk and Prime Minister Orban.
