MINSK, 5 September (BelTA) — Belarus would like to achieve the same level of interregional cooperation with China as it has with Russia, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a meeting with outgoing Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People's Republic of China to the Republic of Belarus Xie Xiaoyong on 5 September, BelTA has learned.
"We have found a new area [of cooperation]. It is developing very well with the help of Xi Jinping. Once at a meeting he drew my attention to the regions of the People's Republic of China. He said, some our regions are bigger than individual states in the world in terms of population and GDP. Trillions of dollars. That is why we have started such serious cooperation with China's regions," the head of state remarked.
"We will pay close attention to the cooperation with regions and develop it. We would like to see the level of this interregional cooperation on a par with our cooperation with Russia. In other words, we already have experience in deepening and expanding this cooperation," Aleksandr Lukashenko added.
