Addressing reporters on arriving in Belgrade, Lilic said Yugoslavia and China had had tradionally friendly relations for years and held similar or identical views on many international issues. He said this was also confirmed during a Yugoslav delegation's visit to China.

Lilic stressed the importance of the Yugoslav delegation's visit to China, first such following the November 22 suspension of the sanctions against Belgrade. He also pointed out advantages of Chinese economic reforms which he said had preserved the social dimension and the workers' standard. 'We should also strive to achieve such a society, regardless of the two countries' specific features,' he said. Lilic described as extremely important talks that had dealt with economic issues, saying an inter-state committee for economic cooperation had held its first session during the Yugoslav delegation's visit to China. He said the two countries' businessmen had had successful meetings at which preliminary agreements and contracts on joint investments had been signed. Lilic said, 'conditions have been created for and the door opened to comprehensive cooperation between China and Yugoslavia,' saying the two countries were well on the way of strengthening still further their friendly relations. *YUGOSLAV PRIME MINISTER ANNOUNCES LIBERALIZATION OF VISA POLICY B e l g r a d e, Dec. 25 (Tanjug) - Yugoslav Prime Minister Radoje Kontic on Monday announced a liberalization of the visa policy next year to help restore tourist links between Yugoslavia and other European countries.
