Aleksandr Turchin said that in September 2022, the leaders of Belarus and China adopted a joint declaration on raising the relationship to a new level. “In July of this year, with the invaluable support of our friends, Belarus became a full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. On the margins of the SCO summit, the Chinese leader said that during the upcoming visit of China’s Premier Li Qiang to Belarus, it is important to address a set of practical issues that exist between our countries,” he said.
Aleksandr Turchin also thanked for the invaluable support of the Chinese side at the height of the pandemic. “Back then you helped us with protective suits, masks, thermometers, thus saving the lives of many of our citizens. In fact, during this period our contacts were put on hold, but just since last year, we have exchanged visits at the level of vice governors. I hope that a new flourishing period is beginning in the relations between Minsk Oblast and Guangdong Province. They will develop rapidly and contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of citizens of both Guangdong Province and Minsk Oblast. I hope that as a result of our visit new agreements will be reached on joint projects. Today's signing of the roadmap is an important signal to business of our two countries,” Aleksandr Turchin said.
Wang Weizhong, for his part, noted that he had never been to Belarus, but had heard a lot about the country and knew it as a strong country in terms of infrastructure, industry and technology. He also proposed to establish cooperation in the production of electricity from renewable energy sources.
