At the 7th China-CEEC Local Leaders' Meeting and the 2026 Shandong International Friendship Cities Cooperation in Jinan, east China's Shandong Province, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Inter-Community Relations of North Macedonia, Ivan Stoilković, spoke with CGTN's Zhang Meng.

He said North Macedonia has much to learn from China's experience in green development, especially in agriculture. Agriculture is a traditional sector for his country, but it also needs technological support and modern IT conveniences. For the deputy prime minister, cooperation in this area holds great potential.
