BEIJING -- China is willing to further unlock the potential of a bilateral free trade deal with Serbia to boost economic and trade cooperation, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said on Monday.
China is ready to import more high-quality Serbian products and encourage more capable Chinese companies to invest in Serbia, Li said during a meeting with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, who is on a state visit to China.
Li called for more cooperation between the two countries in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, new energy, advanced manufacturing, and green and low-carbon development to promote growth for both countries.
Hailing the Hungary-Serbia railway as a flagship project of Belt and Road cooperation, Li said China is ready to work with Serbia on the maintenance and operation of the Serbian section of the railway, and actively promote the early operation of the entire line.
