According to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia, the Representative Office of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which brings together more than 300,000 companies, will appear in Belgrade soon.
The President of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Ren Hongbin, informed the President of the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, Marko Čadež at a meeting in Beijing about the beginning of the formal procedure for establishing the representative office of this business association in Serbia.
As Čadež said after the meeting with Hongbin, with whom he opened the major Belt and Road forum, the arrival of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce opens up enormous opportunities for cooperation between the two countries’ economies.
According to him, Serbia should be a “smart crossroads” in the new chapter of the Belt and Road initiative, and a major regional hub for innovative start-ups and IT companies.
Čadež said that they discussed elevating the Belt and Road initiative to a higher level, looking at how we can integrate more deeply when it comes to the green economy, sustainability and, above all, digitalization. It is a great honour for Serbia that China has recognized its potential to serve as a kind of smart crossroads.
Another honourable invitation was to open the conference in China together with the President of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Other issues aimed at strengthening cooperation, including China’s participation in the specialized EXPO 2027 exhibition in Belgrade, were also discussed by Čadež and Hongbin.
Hongbin takes a direct responsibility for China’s participation in this exhibition. The Chinese pavilion is expected to be one of the most impressive.
Čadež said that he would return to China in three weeks to discuss the Land and Sea International Trade Corridor. Serbia founded it together with 18 other countries and initiated its digitalization. The countries also agreed to coordinate all digital cooperation between institutes, accelerators and start-up systems from Serbia.
More than 800 local and industrial associations across the country, as well as representative offices at the EU headquarters in Brussels, and in Italy, France, Poland and Russia, form a network of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Around 30,000 employees work for Chinese companies in Serbia.
