20 January 2019 - Ambassador of China to Montenegro Liu Jin claims relations between China and Montenegro have never been better. Over the past few years, Jin said the cooperation between the two countries in the area of tourism, energy, and infrastructure, as well as in other sectors, has achieved significant progress, reports Pobjeda daily.
“Moračica bridge spanning structure is almost completed, Možura wind farm has entered the testing phase and soon will be functional, the number of Chinese tourists has been increasing over the years. These are all outcomes of cooperation between China and Montenegro that have contributed to traditional friendship and development of Montenegro. Our cooperation has been continuously progressing,” noted Ambassador Jin.
Despite numerous differences, such as history, culture, social system and economic structure, “both countries have been committed to further development of their economies and boosting the quality of life of their citizens”.
“China is ready to share knowledge with Montenegro, assist, cooperate with it and contribute to joint development based on mutual respect and benefit,” Jin concluded.
China has already been the second largest import partner of Montenegro, which best indicates the extent of cooperative relations between them, according to Ambassador Jin.
Back in October 2018, Prime Minister Duško Marković hosted the inaugural visit by Ambassador of the People's Republic of China Liu Jin.
The Prime Minister welcomed the Chinese Ambassador, expressing the belief that the diversified cooperation with the People's Republic of China and the further development of the political and economic relations of the two countries, characterised by the high-level political dialogue, will be continued during his term of office.
By this occasion Prime Minister Marković stressed that Montenegro especially respects the appreciation that the People's Republic of China expresses towards the strategic European and Euro-Atlantic orientation of Montenegro, and emphasised that the Government of Montenegro also share the attitude towards fostering and preserving multilateralism in the world.
Prime Minister Marković and Ambassador Liu noted that cooperation between Montenegro and China in the field of our development projects, such as the construction of the first section of the motorway, but also in the area of science, education, and culture, provides a good perspective for the further high-quality partnership of mutual understanding and respect.
