While meeting with Tadic on Wednesday, Wu pledged to inject new impetus to the traditional friendship between China and Serbia.

　　"I am here to help realize the consensus between the two heads of states, pushing forward our strategic partnership and traditional friendship," Wu said.

　　Sino-Serbian relations are time-tested and have endured many changes in the international situation, he said. Wu attributed this to the mutual support between the two countries on issues concerning the core interests of one another.

　　"This precious legacy should be cherished by both peoples, and will serve as a fundamental guarantee of the further development of Sino-Serbian ties," Wu said.

　　Speaking of trade relations, Wu stressed the two sides should strengthen cooperation in infrastructure building and investment.

　　Tadic said developing relations with China was one of Serbia's diplomatic priorities, and his government would like to strengthen exchanges with China in all areas and at all levels.

　　The two sides should maintain coordination in the UN as well as other international organizations, he added.
