MINSK, 31 August (BelTA) – Belarus and China implement massive projects together and support each other in the international arena. One can call it the genuine diplomacy of the 21st century. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the relevant statement in an interview with the Xinhua news agency, BelTA has learned.
The president was asked to evaluate China President Xi Jinping as a leader. Xinhua wondered what role diplomacy plays at the top level in the development of Chinese-Belarusian relations.
When talking about the Chinese leader, Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed that in completely unpredictable circumstances Xi Jinping assumes leadership and suggests a clear and concrete way of development not only to China but to the entire world. “He has something many politicians in the West should learn: responsibility before his nation, strategic thinking, and iron will. This is why support for his policy in your country and outside it is colossal,” the head of state stressed.
The Belarusian leader also described Xi Jinping as a very modern leader despite all his fundamentality: “His business acumen, performance capacity, attention to the smallest details, the ability to instantly make decisions, and adopt the very best and new things make your leader understandable and close to partners across the entire world.”
Apart from that, the Belarus president added that the Chinese president leads his country along the path of evolutionary development: without revolutions, without shocks, without destroying what the previous generations have painstakingly created. “Everything is getting done incrementally and only in the interests of the people. This is why the Chinese model is so stable and offers an attractive example for many countries. Unlike those, who try to ‘plant democracy’ with bombs and sanctions, China demonstrates that one can develop peacefully and calmly with respect for other states,” he stated.
Speaking about the role of diplomacy at the top level, Aleksandr Lukashenko assured that Belarus and China are connected by the highest degree of mutual trust and respect. And personal contacts enable a trustful dialogue that nothing else can substitute.
“In the modern world it is leaders that create the political foundation for interaction, that formulate common goals, determine priority avenues, and confirm readiness to deepen manufacturing cooperation,” the president stated. “I am absolutely convinced that Belarusian-Chinese cooperation will only grow stronger. Together we implement massive projects. We support each other in the international arena. It is the genuine diplomacy of the 21st century.”
