During his current five-day state visit to China, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic visited the Museum of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in Beijing on Tuesday, expressing deep admiration for the nation's rapid development and technological advancements.
President Vucic spent time exploring the museum's extensive archives, which include historical photographs, documentary footage, and cultural relics that chronicle the trajectory of the CPC. He was particularly impressed by the museum's ability to blend historical preservation with modern, interactive technology.
"It's a mixture of both nostalgic photos and short video snippets and digitized like something that was coming out of the future," Vucic remarked, noting that the exhibits reflect the high level of innovation within China's new industries. "This shows the big progress that you have made."
The visit follows a significant diplomatic milestone on Monday, when Chinese President Xi Jinping awarded Vucic the Friendship Medal, the highest honorary award bestowed by the People's Republic of China upon foreign nationals. While viewing the medal's display within the museum, Vucic told reporters he was "particularly proud" of receiving the decoration.
Beyond the technological achievements, President Vucic highlighted the human element of China's success, describing the Chinese people as "very hard-working, diligent and dedicated." He noted that the museum visit provided a unique opportunity to deepen his understanding of China's development under the leadership of the CPC.
The Serbian president's state visit, which has focused on strengthening bilateral ties and mutual cooperation, is scheduled to conclude this Thursday.
