By Yan Pashkevich: A new linguistic direction for the whole of China is ready to be explored in Tianjin Foreign Studies University. In the city of Tianjin, near Beijing, the Yakub Kolas Centre opened.

Mingyu Wang, the Vice President of Tianjin Foreign Studies University: "The economic cooperation entails a cultural exchange. This is the spirit of the Belt and Road initiative, this is how we respect and learn the culture of each country. Some publishers are already interested in translating Belarusian works into Chinese precisely from the original – this is one of the directions in which our graduates will work."

Also, 75 schoolchildren from the city of Harbin are preparing to meet their Belarusian peers tomorrow. Kids from the local school will spend the next two weeks in the Zubrionok summer camp. They are ready for the big tour - they easily pass a geography test and conduct the final rehearsals of the performance in the style of Taijiquan.

The strength of Belarus's attraction was also felt in Beijing as businessmen from all over China gathered here to once again appreciate the pearl of the New Silk Road – the Great Stone Industrial Park. Nearly 150 hundred representatives of large corporations came here to become part of the global project of the two countries.
