In response to a question on whether the appearance of the HQ-22 surface-to-air missile and the HQ-17 air defense missile system at the Serbia's military parade would affect the regional situation, Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, said at a regular press conference on Thursday that China-Serbia defense and security cooperation is not targeted at any third party and has no connection with the regional situation.

Serbia showcased its military strength on September 20, with the "Power of Unity" parade held in front of the Palace of Serbia, marking the Day of Serbian Unity, Freedom and the National Flag, according to Xinhua News Agency.

During the military parade, the Chinese-made HQ-22 surface-to-air missile system and the HQ-17 air defense missile system made an appearance, leaving a deep impression on the local audience, CCTV News reported.
