In an exclusive interview with China Media Group (CMG) during his visit to Beijing, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić reflected on the enduring lessons of history and the importance of global solidarity at a time of rising geopolitical tensions. His remarks came as world leaders gathered to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
A Shared Historical Legacy
Vučić described China's commemorative events as "reassuring" in an era of uncertainty, emphasizing that honoring the past is critical to shaping a stable future. "History is not just about remembrance—it is a compass," he said, praising China's efforts to showcase its contributions to global peace and development.
Global Governance in Turbulent Times
The Serbian leader highlighted President Xi Jinping's Global Governance Initiative as a vital framework for addressing contemporary challenges. "Cooperation is not a choice but a necessity," Vučić stated, adding that smaller nations like Serbia rely on multilateral platforms to ensure their voices are heard. He commended China's role in fostering dialogue amid what he called "fractured international dynamics."
Ironclad Friendship
Vučić also underscored the deepening ties between Serbia and China, citing infrastructure projects and cultural exchanges as pillars of their partnership. "Our friendship proves that mutual respect transcends differences," he said, referencing Serbia's participation in China's Belt and Road Initiative as a model for South-East Europe.
As global audiences grapple with shifting alliances, Vučić's insights offer a compelling case for unity rooted in historical consciousness—a message resonating far beyond the Taiwan Strait.
