“You know very well that our diplomatic and political relations, genuine friendship between our peoples stand on a solid economic foundation,” the Belarusian leader said.
He remarked that Belarus and China are running many joint projects on the territory of Belarus. “We are ready to take it further,” Aleksandr Lukashenko assured.
According to him, in today's world, people's diplomacy plays a major role in bilateral cooperation, and inter-parliamentary interaction is the basis for people's diplomacy. “Our parliamentarians play such a role also because they are at the forefront. They have firsthand knowledge of people's problems. And people are at the heart of the states we are building. Therefore, it is very important for us to be aware of people's sentiments and act in their interests,” the head of state emphasized.
“We are very grateful to the Chinese authorities and the leadership of the National People's Congress, the leaders of the parliament for their enormous support in the international arena. And you know very well that we always return the favor and we support the People's Republic of China on all issues in international organizations,” Aleksandr Lukashenko added.
