As part of his working visit to Japan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, Marko Đurić, held talks with Ichiro Aisawa, President of the Japan–Serbia Parliamentary Friendship League in the House of Representatives of the Japanese Parliament.

Minister Đurić emphasized that this visit aims to give new impetus to Serbia’s partnership with Japan and to demonstrate Serbia’s genuine commitment to further advancing relations in all areas.

According to the Minister, parliamentary cooperation represents an important instrument for the further development of political, economic, academic, and cultural ties, as well as for strengthening understanding between the political structures of the two countries.
