The working schedule of the President during the week included several meetings with diplomats, which precede negotiations at the highest level.
Thus, the need to revise the relations was discussed at a meeting with the head of Ecuadorian diplomacy. The President noted that Belarus and Ecuador have good political relations and similar positions on the world agenda. Minsk and Quito cooperate constructively in all international organizations, especially in the UN. The basis of the road map of the two states should be trade and economic cooperation.
Another vector of cooperation is in East Asia. The strategy of relations between Minsk and Beijing, possible problems of development of the Great Stone Industrial Park and preparation for the upcoming summit of the Shanghai cooperation organization was discussed by the President of Belarus with the head of the Chinese diplomatic mission in our country.
According to Alexander Lukashenko, Cui Qiming is the best specialist of China in the issues of the bilateral agenda and his position is extremely important for the real filling of relations and the preparation of meetings at the high level.
In early June, in Qingdao, China, a meeting of the leaders of the Shanghai cooperation organization will be held. Our country has increased its participation in this authoritative integration platform as an "observer".
Another significant event will be held before the summit in Qingda, Deputy Chairman of the PRC Wang Qishan will arrive in Minsk. And it should be noted that the choice of Belarus as the country of the first official visit immediately after the election proves the attention of the Chinese leadership to the development and deepening of bilateral relations.
Last year alone, China invested about 300 million dollars in the economy of Belarus. They opened the production of cars and are building the Great Stone Industrial Park. In addition, China considers Belarus as a key transit hub on the route of the new silk road.
