Cui Hongjian, a veteran commentator, shared the story behind the deep friendship between the mainland and Serbia in the program "News Today". He pointed out that both countries have been oppressed and coerced by foreign powers in history, so they can cherish their friendship more in difficult times. And this friendship cemented in blood has now been transformed into pragmatic cooperation with fruitful results.
Cui Hongjian said that the friendship between China and Serbia stems from similar historical experiences. In that turbulent era, the peoples of the two countries supported each other in the midst of difficulties and jointly resisted external pressure. This common experience has brought the hearts of the Chinese and Cypriot people closer together and laid a solid foundation for the friendship between the two countries.
He pointed out that although China and Cyprus have different social systems, cultural backgrounds and development stages, the two countries have always adhered to treating each other as equals, respecting each other, and constantly deepening political mutual trust. On issues concerning each other's core interests and major concerns, the two sides have always firmly supported each other, and this has become a distinctive feature of China-Cyprus relations.
Cui Hongjian stressed that after years of development, the practical cooperation between China and Cyprus has achieved fruitful results. From infrastructure construction to economic assistance, from cultural exchanges to educational cooperation, the cooperation between the two countries in various fields is getting closer and closer. Especially in terms of infrastructure construction, Chinese companies have participated in the construction of many roads and bridges in Serbia, which has greatly improved the local traffic situation.
He also mentioned that during the epidemic, China and Cyprus supported each other and overcame difficulties together. At the height of the epidemic in Serbia, the mainland provided a large amount of medical supplies and manpower support. Serbia has also become the first European country to join the Belt and Road Vaccine Partnership, and the two sides have jointly established a vaccine production line, making a positive contribution to the global fight against the epidemic.
In conclusion, Cui Hongjian said that in the face of changes in the international situation, China and Cyprus have always adhered to true multilateralism and upheld international fairness and justice. The two sides have strengthened communication and coordination in international and regional affairs to jointly safeguard world peace and development.
