Wang Yi expressed his gratitude to Žiljica for attending the high-level meeting of the Security Council organized by China. He noted that President Vucic was visiting China, and this visit was of great significance for promoting bilateral relations. The two heads of state engaged in deep strategic communication, enhancing mutual trust and friendship, and reached broad consensus.
