Chinese President Xi Jinping warmly welcomed the guest and expressed confidence that the visit of the President of Belarus will be very fruitful.
“Mr. President and I are united by a common desire to develop Chinese-Belarusian relations. We’ve been friends for years. We have a strong unbreakable friendship. In the conditions of instability and turbulence of the international situation, China is actively committed to continuing joint efforts with Belarus to strengthen political mutual trust and practical cooperation in the interests of dynamic, healthy and sustainable development of bilateral relations,” Xi Jinping said.
“We are extremely interested in deepening cooperation with China on technological development, including the creation of joint ventures, the modernization of Belarusian enterprises with the introduction of modern Chinese technologies, the promotion of goods and services to the markets of third countries,” the Belarusian leader said.
The leaders of the countries, both at the negotiations in broad and narrow compositions, communicated much longer than planned, which clearly indicates a mutual interest in resolving the issues on the agenda and a focus on results.

Thanks to joint efforts, the concept of comprehensive strategic partnership has acquired special significance in the relations between Belarus and China. Today Minsk and Beijing continue to strengthen constructive political dialogue, successfully develop economic cooperation and expand regional ties,” President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said at a meeting with Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress Li Zhanshu.
