Chinese leader Xi Jinping's visit to European ally Serbia on Tuesday coincides with the 25th anniversary of the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade during NATO's air war over Kosovo. The bombing, which occurred on May 7, 1999, resulted in the death of three Chinese nationals and injuries to twenty others, straining relations between China and the United States.
In an op-ed published in Serbia's 'Politika' newspaper, Xi Jinping referenced the tragic event, emphasizing the Chinese people's commitment to peace while vowing to prevent such historical tragedies from recurring.
