President of Belarus to pay working visit to China April 25-27

Alexander Lukashenko will take part in the second forum of international cooperation "The Belt and Road". The head of state will present the proposals of the Belarusian side for the development of this global initiative, deepening cooperation in the Eurasian space with an emphasis on creating an equal and transparent system of international trade. The forum’s venue is also a good opportunity for bilateral negotiations (the presence of leaders of nearly 40 states is expected). A meeting of our President with the President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping is also planned, at which they will discuss the implementation of the most significant joint projects and the development of cooperation. But today, on the eve of the visit of Alexander Lukashenko, Belarus and China have signed a package of documents on cooperation. This will be the 12th visit of Alexander Lukashenko to China. Over the past three years, Minsk and Beijing have reached a new level of relations.

China will provide Belarus with 100 million euros for economic development. Part of the agreements is related to health care and the production of medical equipment. 

In Beijing, everything is ready for the large-scale forum "The Belt and Road", which will be held for the second time. More than 5 years have passed since the proclamation of the initiative. Belarus was one of the first to appreciate and support the idea of the leadership of the Celestial Empire to create transnational trade corridors. And today, our country has become the main European logistics hub in the framework of the Chinese initiative.
