China and Serbia strengthen youth ties through innovation exchange

During his visit to China on May 27, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic visited Jiaxing in east China's Zhejiang Province to attend an international youth exchange camp, highlighting the growing role of young people in China-Serbia cooperation.

At the "future factory" of the Minth Group, a global auto-parts supplier, young Serbians attending the exchange camp demonstrated the intelligent robotics skills they had learned during hands-on training sessions, showcasing the results of cross-border technological learning and collaboration.

Since 2018, the Minth Group has established 10 factories in Serbia, deepening industrial cooperation between the two countries. Over the past two years, the company has organized four exchange visits that have brought more than 300 Serbian young people to China. Recently, the Minth Group launched a new phase of its international youth exchange camp program, which aims to invite 500 young international participants to China for study tours and cultural exchanges.

Addressing the Serbian students and young trainees, Vucic encouraged them to bring advanced knowledge and technological expertise back to Serbia, expressing the hope that the younger generation will become a bridge for future cooperation between the two countries.

During the visit, Vucic also witnessed the inauguration of the China-Serbia Youth Cultural Exchange Center, a new platform designed to promote long-term and institutionalized youth exchanges. The center will focus on emerging industries including intelligent manufacturing, new energy, humanoid robotics and the low-altitude economy, encouraging mutual learning and innovation among young people from both countries.
