Marko Čadež: Serbia to Participate in the China International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing

The President of the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, Marko Čadež, stated that Serbia continues to systematically strengthen its economic relations with China, and that one of the important steps in that direction will be the participation of Serbian companies at the 4th China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE), which will take place in Beijing from 22 to 26 June.

Speaking on Serbia’s national broadcaster RTS morning news program, Čadež recalled that CISCE is the world’s largest trade fair dedicated to supply chains and noted that this will be Serbia’s third appearance at the prestigious event.

“When you look at how systematically we approach economic relations with China—from the excellent political ties and the recent visit of President Aleksandar Vučić to China, to the activities of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Adrijana Mesarović and the President’s Office team in attracting new investments—we are now taking a step further and moving to a deeper level of cooperation,” Čadež said.

According to him, the goal is to introduce as many Serbian companies as possible, along with a broad catalogue of Serbian products, to the Chinese market through various platforms and business opportunities.

The Serbian delegation in Beijing will also include Minister of Domestic and Foreign Trade Jagoda Lazarević. One of the topics to be discussed will be the establishment of a representative office of the China Chamber of Commerce in Belgrade serving the entire region.

“We are hopeful for positive news and further strengthening of cooperation. We are also discussing the possibility of bringing this important trade fair to Belgrade after the specialized EXPO exhibition,” Čadež added.

He noted that special attention will be devoted to the harmonization of documentation and certification procedures in order to further facilitate trade and business operations between Serbian and Chinese companies.

The Serbian Chamber of Commerce is organizing the participation of Serbian businesses within the Serbia National Pavilion at this year’s CISCE, which brings together companies from various industries and serves as a platform for enhancing trade, investment, innovation, and international cooperation.

A total of 11 exhibitors will be showcased at the Serbia National Pavilion, including the Development Agency of Serbia (RAS), Expo 2027, and Serbia Export. Participants will also include logistics companies Nelt, JUSDA, Danubia Holding – Dragon Maritime Group, and LogMax Supply Chain Solutions, operating in the fields of logistics and freight forwarding.

Beohemija, a manufacturer of detergents, fabric softeners, and household care products, as well as Aleva, one of Serbia’s leading producers of seasonings, soups, food additives, and other food products, will present their products and solutions.

In the metal and electrical industry sector, Meter & Control will showcase its smart energy solutions, including smart meters, communication devices, and software for energy network management. The Mihajlo Pupin Institute will present its achievements in information and communication technologies, artificial intelligence, and automation.

The exhibition covers key industrial supply chains, including smart vehicles, digital technologies, healthy living, renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and supply chain services.
