Belarus is ready to develop cooperation with China by implementing joint projects. This was stated by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko during a meeting with the Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress of China, Chairman of the High-Level Committee for Cooperation between the Legislative Bodies of Belarus and China Zhang Qingwei, as reported by a BELTA correspondent.
"You know well that our diplomatic and political relations, the good friendship between our peoples are backed by a serious economic base," said the Belarusian leader.
He noted that many projects are being implemented on the territory of Belarus with China through joint financing. "We are ready to further develop our cooperation in this regard," assured Alexander Lukashenko.
According to him, in the modern world, public diplomacy plays a significant role in cooperation, the foundation of which is the cooperation between parliamentarians. "Our parliamentarians play such a role also because they are on the front line. They directly face the problems of the peoples. And we are building people's states together. Therefore, it is very important for us to know the sentiments of the people and act in their interests," emphasized the head of state.
"We are very grateful to the authorities of the PRC and the leadership of the National People's Congress of China, the leaders of the parliament for the colossal support you provide us on the international stage. And you know perfectly well that we have always responded and continue to respond to your support with appropriate support on all issues of the People's Republic of China in international organizations," added Alexander Lukashenko.
