Minsk, December 18 (Xinhua) — The annual conference of the Guiding Star of the Silk Road Association of Chinese Enterprises was held in Minsk on Wednesday. More than 130 people and 32 Chinese companies participated.
"For us, the Belt and Road Initiative is more than just an infrastructure or economic project. It's a global philosophy of cooperation, creation, and mutual growth. A philosophy that fully aligns with the Belarusian approach to international dialogue: equality, mutual benefit, and technological progress for the benefit of people," said Belarusian Deputy Minister of Economy Alesya Abramenko during the conference.
According to her, it is precisely this shared vision that has enabled the two countries to create not just trade routes but a unified space of trust and cooperation over the past years. "For us, China is an 'all-weather friend' and an 'iron brother,' a factor of the future, one of Belarus's long-term historical pillars," the official noted.
First Deputy Minister of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade of Belarus Natalia Vasilevskaya emphasized that cooperation with China occupies a special place among Belarusian strategic priorities.
"In recent years, trade and economic ties between Belarus and China have demonstrated growth and momentum. Trade volumes between our countries are increasing, demonstrating the mutual interest of both parties in deepening cooperation and implementing joint projects," she noted.
Chinese Ambassador to Belarus Zhang Wenchuan stated that since its establishment in 2015, the Association of Chinese Enterprises in Belarus has actively promoted trade. The organization also creates an important platform for mutually beneficial cooperation between enterprises from the two countries.
"Currently, Chinese-Belarusian relations are at their highest level ever, with momentum steadily growing. Against this backdrop, the Association of Chinese Enterprises serves as an important bridge of communication between the governments and companies of the two countries," Zhang Wenchuan emphasized.
In turn, Secretary General of the Association of Chinese Enterprises Zhao Qingqiu noted that in 2025, the organization was focused on deepening trade and economic cooperation between the two countries.
"Today, representatives of the Association of Chinese Enterprises in Belarus signed an initiative to jointly maintain market order and promote healthy and sustainable development. Let us take this initiative as a new starting point to create exemplary Chinese enterprises," she said.
