China-Serbia ties a good example for the world

The five-day state visit to China by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic from May 24 to 28 was the best reflection of China's diplomatic principles, including the longstanding Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence — mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.

The grand reception Vucic received in Beijing shows that China is committed to treating all countries, regardless of size, with equal respect.

This was further highlighted when President Xi Jinping awarded Vucic the Friendship Medal at the Great Hall of the People, the highest honor bestowed on foreign nationals by China.
