Serbian First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic is on an official visit to Madagascar, the Serbian government announced on Thursday. Dacic had meetings with senior officials of that country.

He had separate meetings with ministers of Economy and Finance, Industry, Tourism and Crafts, and Foreign Affairs. Dacic and Madagascar's FM, Naina Andriantsitohaina, signed a Memorandum of Cooperation between the two ministries.

On this occasion, the officials discussed the state of bilateral relations between Serbia and Madagascar, as well as ways to improve cooperation in areas of mutual interest.

Dacic announced that a mixed committee for economic cooperation will be formed, and exchange of visits of successful entrepreneurs is expected.

The Serbian Foreign Affairs Ministry announced in December 2018 that Serbia received a note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Madagascar, whereby the latter revoked its previous decision on the recognition of Kosovo.
