Hengkang Group has also expressed interest in investments in the air transport sector and the trade of healthcare equipment in Serbia, the government said.
Vucic has invited representatives of Hengkang Group to visit Serbia and also explore the opportunities for investments in medical tourism and construction of hospitals.
