MINSK, June 6 (Xinhua) — Chinese Vice President Han Zheng on Saturday called for deeper trade and investment cooperation between China and Belarus in the interests of the two peoples.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of a China-Belarus industrial and investment cooperation forum in Minsk, Han said relations between the two countries have maintained high-level development in recent years, with economic, trade and investment cooperation producing fruitful results.
Bilateral trade in 2025 was nearly 150 times that recorded shortly after the establishment of diplomatic ties more than three decades ago, he said, adding that the China-Belarus Industrial Park, a flagship project, has attracted 178 enterprises and effectively boosted local economic and social development.
He called on the two countries to strengthen the alignment of their development strategies, advance high-quality cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, explore new drivers of trade growth, and expand industrial and investment cooperation.
China will remain committed to high-quality development and high-level opening-up, thereby creating broader development opportunities for countries around the world, including Belarus, he stressed.
The forum was jointly organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, the China-Belarus Industrial Park and the National Investment and Privatization Agency of Belarus, with more than 400 people in attendance.
