Advisor to the US Ambassador to the United Nations, Elizabeth Millard, says Serbia is a key US partner committed to preserving a secure and stable Western Balkans, a partner that, as she pointed out, is strengthening its position on the world stage, reports Tanjug.

At a reception organized by the Serbian Consulate General in New York on the occasion of 140 years since the establishment of Serbia-US diplomatic relations, Millard recalled famous Serbs such as Nikola Tesla and David Vujic and stressed that the anniversary of diplomatic relations is dedicated to a common history and a bright future.

At the reception held in Hudson Yards, one of the most prestigious parts of Manhattan, she said that whenever Serbs and Americans work, create, and play together, great things happen.

"And what is even more important, Serbia is a friend to the United States for the next 140 years," said Millard and reminded that in 1881 two agreements were signed - the Trade Agreement and the Consular Convention, which initiated dynamic relations that are growing today.

Millard also said that her message was simple.

"Just like 140 years ago, the United States stands with Serbia on the path to creating a modern, prosperous state in the heart of Europe, we are committed to strengthening economic cooperation, advancing reforms and good relations with all neighbors," she said.

According to her, the roots of these unbreakable ties do not lie in governments, but in everyday connections, friendship and trust between the Serbian and American people. She said that an indicators of growing economic ties is the opening of a modern NCR campus in Belgrade that employs 5,000 people, as well as cooperation in all fields.
