Belarus awaits the visit of PRC Chairman Xi Jinping. This was stated by the head of state Alexander Lukashenko on October 1, while receiving credentials from ambassadors of foreign countries at the Palace of Independence, as reported by a BELTA correspondent.
The President noted that October 1 marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. "Taking this opportunity, I want to congratulate the entire Chinese people, Mr. Ambassador, through you, on your great national holiday. This is also our holiday," said Alexander Lukashenko. "It is very significant for us that you are presenting your credentials on this very day."
Lukashenko: Belarus has no unfriendly peoples or secondary countries
The head of state emphasized that China has always been and remains the most important, reliable, and special trade, economic, and political partner for Belarus. "An unprecedentedly high level of trusting cooperation has been achieved between Minsk and Beijing," stated the Belarusian leader. He noted that in the context of global political tensions, Belarus and China have managed to elevate their bilateral relations to the level of an all-weather and comprehensive strategic partnership. Despite the crisis processes in the global economy, the parties achieved a new record in trade turnover by the end of last year.
"I want to express special gratitude for the constructive approach to cooperation to my dear friend, PRC Chairman Xi Jinping. And please convey my best wishes to him, that we are awaiting his visit to Belarus at his convenience," said Alexander Lukashenko.
