BELGRADE — Chinese Embassy in Serbia donated office equipment to the tune of $1.60 million to the Serbian foreign ministry on Jan 22.

The donation consists of computers, office accessories to be used by Serbian foreign ministry, government’s European integrations office and the health ministry, as well as 25 incubators that will be distributed to Serbian hospitals.

Li Manchang, Chinese Ambassador to Serbia, said that Chinese Embassy wishes to do all it can to improve the friendly relations between the two countries, and that he hopes the equipment will make the work easier for the employees at the ministry.

Ivica Dacic, Serbian First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, said that the donation improves the relations between the two countries even further and that it will mean much to Serbia especially having in mind that this is in a period of fiscal consolidation and a lack of money to purchase new equipments.

“We share the opinion that our relations are constantly improving, that our agreements are being fulfilled, and that we are working toward their realization,” Dacic said.
