STARA PAZOVA, Serbia, March 14 (Xinhua) -- Serbian officials and businessmen on Friday staged a sendoff event for a container of Serbian products to China, which will soon be available on Chinese store shelves under the free-trade agreement between the two countries.

The sendoff for the container, in the village of Krnjesevci near Stara Pazova, bound for the city of Xiamen via Milsped transport services, was attended by Serbia's Minister of Economy Adrijana Mesarovic, Chinese Ambassador to Serbia, Li Ming, Assistant Secretary-General of the Government of Serbia, Danijel Nikolic and representatives of companies.

The shipment includes confectionery products, rakija fruit brandy, wine, baby food, honey, fruit products, and dairy products.

Mesarovic emphasized the strong demand for Serbian goods in China and the readiness for deeper cooperation. "Our task is to seize this opportunity and enter a market of more than 1.4 billion consumers," she said.

She also praised the impact of the China-Serbia Free Trade Agreement and announced plans for even more intensive cooperation aimed at boosting business success, increasing company revenues, and expanding employment opportunities.

"The container we are sending off today to friendly China is not just a container of goods - it is a symbol of hard and persistent work and another confirmation of our ironclad friendship," Mesarovic said.

Li underscored the symbolic importance of the shipment, highlighting Serbia's role as China's first free trade partner in Central and Eastern Europe.

"More and more Serbian wines, dairy products, fruits, and nuts are appearing on the tables of Chinese consumers. Today, we also see many products at the stands that have attracted attention, demonstrating that the highest-quality Serbian agricultural products will bring unique flavors and experiences to the Chinese people," Li said.
