Minsk, October 23, 2022

His Excellency

Mr. Xi Jinping,

President of the People's Republic of China,

Beijing

Your Excellency,

On behalf of the Belarusian people and on my own behalf, I congratulate you on the successful holding of the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China and your re-election as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

The unwavering support of more than 90 million Chinese communists is a clear confirmation of your high authority and the correctness of the chosen path of the country's development.

Relying on the strong unity of the party and the people, you are confidently leading Great China towards the goal of building a modernized socialist state. I am convinced that it will be achieved by the centenary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

By consistently implementing the "Belt and Road" initiative in conjunction with the new concept of international relations – the building of a "community of common destiny for mankind" – your country offers its vision of global development and security. The key principles of these initiatives, such as long-term peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, and respect, are more relevant than ever in today's complex global environment.

Minsk highly values the iron brotherhood and all-weather friendship with Beijing. I would like to particularly note your personal contribution to the development of Belarusian-Chinese relations, which serve as an exemplary model of comprehensive strategic partnership.

I express my hope for an early meeting with you, during which we will be able to thoroughly discuss priority issues and outline plans for the future in a spirit of sincere friendship and trust, and coordinate positions on pressing issues of the international agenda.

Please accept, Your Excellency, wishes for good health and new successes in your creative work to strengthen the socio-economic power and global authority of China.

Alexander Lukashenko.
