For 45 years, Shanghai and Zagreb have shared a special friendship, built on mutual respect and openness to cooperation.
Since 1980, when this valuable connection began, our cities have grown through continuous dialogue and collaboration, nurturing a friendship that has only strengthened with time.
Over more than four decades, we have built trust together and created bridges that connect our communities.
The friendship between Zagreb and Shanghai, as well as between Croatia and China, continues to flourish today — through the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and experiences in culture, science, economy, transportation, ecology, and technology.
It is not only a testament to a successful past, but also a promise for the future, in which our cities will be even more closely connected and grow together.
