The idea of opening a CDB General Office in Serbia is of profound importance

“The China Development Bank is extremely pleased with its ongoing cooperation with Serbia. What particularly stands out is the good cooperation between the CDB and Serbia’s Postal Savings Bank, as the two signed a credit line deal at the Dubrovnik 16+1 Summit held earlier this year in April. The CDB has 15 overseas offices and is ready to open a new General Office to manage operations in all countries of the 17+1 mechanism. In acknowledgement of the good relations between the Republic of Serbia and the People’s Republic of China, I believe that the seat of the General Office should be in Serbia”, Mr. Wejun underlined, soliciting support in this regard from the relevant Serbian institutions.

“I think that the idea of opening a CDB General Office in Serbia is of profound importance and the National Coordination Council for Russia and China will help to ensure the necessary contacts with the competent Serbian institutions in order for this idea to be presented at the highest level. Serbia and China cherish a high level of cooperation and the opening of the CDB General Office in Serbia would be another step forward towards the advancement of our relations”, Council President Nikolić said.
