Prime Minister Spajić with the delegations of South Korea, Japan and China

Prime Minister of Montenegro, Milojko Spajić, continued consultations with Ambassadors. Today, the Prime Minister met with the delegations of South Korea, Japan and China.

During the talks with the representatives of South Korea, it was pointed out that good bilateral relations can be built on in various areas. The two countries will cooperate more closely in areas of mutual interest, and in the application of new know-how and technologies for the purpose of economic progress.

Korea has progressed extremely fast and we know that it has achieved this owing to know-how, with a lot of dedication and hard work. We want to replicate that in Montenegro, said the Prime Minister during a meeting with the Korean delegation led by Chey Tae-won, Special Envoy of the Chamber of Commerce of South Korea and Executive Director of SK Group, which includes over 200 successful companies, and Lee Jaewoong, Ambassador of South Korea in Belgrade.

During the visit, possible cooperation in the field of using energy from renewable sources, the IT sector and tourism was discussed.

At the meeting with the Japanese Ambassador, Imamura Akira, it was assessed that the appointment of the Montenegrin Ambassador in Tokyo is a need for Montenegro as well as Japan.

We welcome the formation of a new Government, and it is customary to dedicate one sentence to each Government, which describes it. We dedicated a phrase to you, which could be translated as: 'Dedicated to results', because that is what you announced in the inaugural speech, and results are something that Montenegro desperately needs, Ambassador Akira said.

Prime Minister Spajić pointed out that he had studied and worked in Japan, so he knew very well why the whole world admires that country. He expressed the determination of the Government of Montenegro to work closely with the Government of Japan to strengthen overall bilateral cooperation.

"Montenegro is a small market, but we cherish diversity and that is why we are a true bridge of the region. We hope that some big companies will choose Montenegro as their hub for the Balkans. We plan to create a better climate for business and will actively work on removing business barriers for large companies to come to Montenegro," the Prime Minister emphasized.

Ambassador Akira emphasized that the Government of Montenegro has the support of Japan in terms of economic development and green energy.

At the meeting with Chinese Ambassador, Fan Kun, it was assessed that there is significant room for enhancing cooperation.

Montenegro has a chance to become the crossroads of the region, and the successful implementation of the first section of the highway is an indicator of good relations between the two countries, Fan said.

Prime Minister Spajić introduced the Chinese Ambassador to the work program of the 44^th Government, emphasizing that European integration is in focus, with the aim of achieving tangible results in the upcoming months.

At the meetings, discussion was held on the current situation in the country and the region, future projects in the field of infrastructure and potential for further cooperation.
