China's Xi slams Nato on 25th anniversary of bombing of Chinese embassy in Belgrade
CHINESE President Xi Jinping condemned Nato as he began his visit to Serbia today, 25 years to the day after the Western military alliance carried out a deadly bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.
In a letter published in the Serbian media outlet Politika, Mr Xi said China would never forget how “Nato brazenly bombed the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia, killing three Chinese journalists.
“The China-Serbia friendship, forged with the blood of our compatriots, will stay in the shared memory of the Chinese and Serbian peoples.”
