Serbian President Vučić: Nearly cried upon learning he was awarded China Friendship Medal
During his visit to China, Serbian President Vučić said that he nearly shed tears when he learned he would be awarded the medal.
Serbian President Alexander Vučić visited China from May 24 to May 28. After talks and the signing of cooperation agreements, China bestowed upon him its highest honor for foreign individuals—the "Friendship Medal."
At the medal presentation ceremony, Vučić said: "When I confirmed that Chinese leaders would personally present me with the medal, tears were already welling up in my eyes. This medal holds immense significance: it embodies the emotions, strength, resilience, perseverance, and profound mutual respect between our two peoples. It symbolizes our shared achievements—bridges built with your support, modern highways, and infrastructure projects—that today adorn our country."
In late March, the Serbian president stated that bilateral trade between Serbia and China would exceed $10.6 billion in 2025, with total Chinese investment reaching €7.3 billion.
