MINSK, 18 August (BelTA) – There are plans to organize a state visit of the Belarusian President to China at the end of September. This matter was discussed during a meeting between Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko and 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 head of state stressed that he is looking forward to meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping and having a traditionally trust-based exchange of opinions during his state visit to China in late September.
“Over the past 25 years since Belarus and China established diplomatic relations, a lot has been done to strengthen bilateral ties. We have no closed themes and unresolved issues in our dialogue,” the President said.
In his words, the two countries have been steadily developing contacts in all areas. The Belarusian-Chinese business forum which took place in May 2015 gave a fresh impetus to interregional relations. Alexander Lukashenko noted that Chinese regions have been showing a big practical interest in closer cooperation with Belarus.
