Belarus is ready to develop cooperation with China by implementing joint projects. This was stated by the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, at a meeting with the Deputy Chairman of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress, Chairman of the High-Level Committee on Cooperation between the Legislative Bodies of Belarus and China, Zhang Qingwei, as reported by a BELTA correspondent.
"You are well aware that our diplomatic and political relations, and the good friendship between our peoples, are underpinned by a solid economic foundation," said the Belarusian leader.
He noted that many projects are being implemented in 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, people's diplomacy plays a significant role in cooperation, the basis of which is cooperation between parliamentarians. "Our parliamentarians play such a role also because they are at the forefront. They directly encounter the problems of the people. And we are building people's states. Therefore, it is very important for us to know people's sentiments and act in their interests," emphasised the head of state.
"We are very grateful to the authorities of the PRC and the leadership of the National People's Congress, the parliamentary leaders, for the tremendous support you provide us in the international arena. And you are well aware that we have always responded and continue to respond to your support with corresponding support on all issues concerning the People's Republic of China in international organisations," added Alexander Lukashenko.
