Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko signed the directive “On practical content of the all-weather and all-round strategic partnership between the Republic of Belarus and the People’s Republic of China” on 12 May, the press service of the head of state told BelTA.
The document is an updated version of the previous directive “On advancing the bilateral relations between the Republic of Belarus and the People’s Republic of China”. It builds on its provisions and defines the next stage: plans and tasks, which are as practical as possible and designed to step up Belarus-China interaction over a five-year period.
Stepping up cooperation in politics, preserving the historical memory and multiplying the values of friendship and mutual support, participating in the implementation of China’s global initiatives for the benefit of Belarus have been determined as a vector of bilateral interaction.
Stepping up industrial and technological cooperation, developing the spheres of trade, investment, and innovation are among the priorities of economic cooperation with the People’s Republic of China.
Apart from that, around 30 provisions of the directive provide for the implementation of specific measures in the fields of agriculture, power engineering, transport and logistics, healthcare, information and communication technologies, woodworking, petrochemical and light industries, tourism, education, science and culture as well as for the development of the flagship project – the Great Stone Industrial Park – and the invigoration of interregional interaction.
