Vucic: All important topics discussed openly with Sanchez

SEVILLE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Sunday he had had an open discussion on all important topics with Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez in Seville.

"All important topics discussed openly with our friend Sanchez. We also discussed signing a contract to build a bridge at Backa Palanka that would mean much to the entire South Backa District," Vucic wrote in a post on his buducnostsrbijeav Instagram account.

He said the discussion topics had also included the current global situation, Serbia's European future and strengthening of political dialogue, bilateral relations, economic cooperation and cooperation in all areas of social life.

Vucic and Sanchez met at the 4th UN International Conference on Financing for Development.

"We exchanged views on the key topics of the Conference, including a reform of the global financial architecture, mobilisation of funds for sustainable development and the significance of climate financing. We agreed that concrete steps and greater solidarity are needed to provide developing countries with more equal access to financial resources," Vucic noted.

He also reiterated his gratitude to Spain for its consistent and principled support for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia.

"I believe that, in the coming years, we will deepen our relations even further, in the spirit of solidarity, mutual understanding and the European values we share," Vucic posted.

Later in the day, Vucic attended a gala dinner hosted for leaders by the Spanish royal couple, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, at the Royal Alcazar Palace in Seville.
