China has flown in six doctors, ventilators and medical masks to Serbia to help Belgrade halt spreading of the Coronavirus pandemic, which has wreaked havoc in Europe and rest of the world. 

The Serbian President, Aleksandar Vucic, expressed his gratitude to the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, the Chinese communist party and the Chinese people.

"The arrival of Chinese health professionals is of great importance to us because they were the first to defeat the great enemy of today: COVID-19," the Serbian President remarked. 

"Everything on this plane is free-of-charge assistance, a donation from the People's Republic of China. We should thank them with all our hearts, they have proven to be great friends of Serbia and Serbs," he added. 

Serbia's largest aircraft, the Airbus A330, landed in from China with the largest shipment of aid to Serbia including medical devices, security equipment and six Chinese experts
The medical aid packages that came from China read in Chinese language and in Cyrillic: "The friendship of steel, we share the good and the evil!" with a heart that had the flag of Serbia on one side, and the flag of China on the other.

China's ambassador to Belgrade, Chen Bo, said the aid was a sign of the "iron friendship" between the two countries. 

China has also extended loans worth billions of dollars to build railways, roads and power plants in Serbia and bought the country’s only copper mine and a steel plant.
