Nikolai Snopkov expressed hope that today's meeting would give a start to the interaction of these two programs. “We very much hope that the goals of the new look of Belarus within the framework of the National Strategy of Sustainable Development until 2040 and the UNDP country program will be synchronized. Therefore, I think that our meeting will give a start to closer cooperation in this direction,” he emphasized.
In turn, Liu Renfei noted that the UNDP development program has actively cooperated with Belarus since 2021. “Thanks to our efforts, we managed to mobilize and attract $100 million to the country, which is not a fine achievement,” she said. “We could not have achieved this without the participation of our partners from Belarus.
