BELGRADE, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- The first direct flight between Serbia's Belgrade and north China's Tianjin city was launched on Friday, operated by Serbia's national carrier Air Serbia.

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic was present at the launch.

Brnabic said at a press conference at Belgrade Airport that the flight will further strengthen economic ties between Serbia and China, bring new investors, attract a large number of tourists to Serbia, and improve relations and cultural exchange between the two nations.
