In 2013, the friendly and cooperative relations between the People's Republic of China and Montenegro developed smoothly.

The two countries maintained high-level exchanges. In November, Premier Li Keqiang met with Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic in Bucharest, capital of Romania, when they were attending the China- Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) Summit.
