China and Serbia will sign an agreement on Saturday to deepen cooperation between media organizations from both countries, a senior Chinese official said on Friday.

Signed between China's State Council Information Office and the Serbian Ministry of Culture and Media, the agreement will increase exchanges and resource sharing between the two countries' news organizations, said Guo Weimin, vice-minister of the office.

Guo made the remarks at the China-Serbia Media Dialogue, held in Belgrade on Friday, as President Xi Jinping kicked off his state visits to Serbia, Poland and Uzbekistan.
