On the morning of July 23, 2026, coordinated by the Modern Service Industry Working Committee of the China Federation of Commercial Joint Stock Enterprises, Tianjin Business Parlor, and Sanchuang Heyi (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., H.E. Mr. Siniša Berjan, Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina to China, and his delegation visited the Xiqing factory of Tianjin Apas for a tour and an economic and trade exchange symposium. The event was attended by Zhao Zichen, Secretary-General of the Modern Service Industry Working Committee; Wang Chunmi, Deputy Secretary-General; Zhang Yingjie, Assistant to the Secretary-General; Pan Aimin, Chairman of Tianjin Apas; Zhang Qiu, Deputy General Manager; and staff members from the Foreign Trade Department.

Ambassador Berjan and the distinguished guests first visited the Apas exhibition hall to learn about the company's corporate culture and development history. Following this, the delegation toured the accessories exhibition area, the intelligent manufacturing supporting equipment exhibition area, and the automated production line for industrial aluminum profiles in the production workshop. Finally, a symposium was held in the conference room.

During the symposium, Ambassador Berjan stated that the achievements Apas has made over the past 18 years are highly commendable. He expressed great appreciation for Chinese ingenuity in the industrial sector, particularly in the practical application of technology. He noted that Bosnia and Herzegovina possesses numerous advantages in natural resources and free trade policies, and he hopes to reach further cooperation in the future. Secretary-General Zhao Zichen emphasized that Bosnia and Herzegovina serves as a gateway for exports to Europe. With local aluminum factories capable of providing raw materials, there is significant potential for establishing joint ventures with local enterprises. Furthermore, Chinese is spoken in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the promotion of Chinese language learning began 14 years ago.

"Honoring our original aspiration through craftsmanship, connecting the world through intelligent manufacturing."

Standing at a new starting point, Apas will continue to uphold the philosophy of openness and mutual benefit. The company will actively explore cooperation opportunities with Bosnia and Herzegovina and the broader Central and Eastern European region, allowing "Chinese wisdom" and "Chinese solutions" to shine even brighter on the international stage. We eagerly look forward to crossing mountains and seas in the near future to join hands with our partners in Bosnia and Herzegovina and write a new chapter of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation!
