Lukashenko: Belarus-China relations should rely on technologies, investments

MINSK (BelTA) – Technological and investment cooperation should be the engine propelling Belarus-China interaction, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said as he met with Meng Jianzhu, Member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China, on 18 August, BelTA has learned.

“The recent launch of the Belarusian satellite from the Chinese Xichang Satellite Launch Center and the creation of modern defense systems helped advance our partnership to a brand-new, more trustworthy level. Apart from investments, it should be the engine propelling our bilateral cooperation,” the head of state noted.

The President did not doubt that the second session of the Belarusian-Chinese intergovernmental cooperation committee will be productive and will help determine concrete steps for the development of Belarus-China relations. The head of state thanked Meng Jianzhu for the close attention to the enhancement of Belarus-China friendship and partnership. “I think that everything is going to be all right,” Alexander Lukashenko is convinced.
