To the Chairman of Silk Road Chamber

of International Commerce

Mr. Lu Jianzhong

 

Dear Mr. Lu Jianzhong,

 

I'm sincerely glad that this year representatives of the Republic of Belarus, of the country which is an "iron friend" of the People's Republic of China, are taking part in the 2019 Silk Road Business Summit in Xi'an once again. For the 4th year now, this event is gathering participants from all over the world in order to develop cooperation among the countries within the concept of the Belt and Road initiative.

 

The Belt and Road initiative was born in China, but the entire world can benefit from the opportunities it offers. Belarus was among the first European countries to respond to the call of leader of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping to take part in this initiative. The increasing scope of the economic, social and cultural cooperation between Belarus and China is proving an “all-weather friendship” of our countries.

 

On May 12, 2015 President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko together with President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping started the construction of the China-Belarus Great Stone Industrial Park which is the base platform of the Belt and Road initiative. Today Industrial Park is a place where economic interests of Europe and Asia converge; it is an example of global opportunities of the Belt and Road initiative.

 

I wish all the participants of the 2019 Silk Road Business Summit success and sincerely hope that discussions held during the Summit will be fruitful and will become a new step on the way to develop mutually beneficial cooperation of the Belt and Road initiative's countries.

 

Most respectfully,

 

Nikolai Snopkov,

 

The Chairman of the Belarusian part of the Belarus-China Intergovernmental Cooperation Committee,

Deputy Head of the Belarus President

Administration
