«The thesis speaks for itself. The governments and embassies, working together with the relevant state bodies, will now have to do that work,» Nikolai Snopkov emphasized.

The first deputy prime minister also singled out Belarus’ technological self-sufficiency as an important area. He noted that industrial cooperation between Minsk and Beijing covers 11 technologies critical for Belarus. «We want to acquire them and jointly produce goods with Chinese partners on the basis of these technologies. This is very important for us, and deeper cooperation, greater scale, and further development will undoubtedly give the country’s economic growth a powerful boost,» Nikolai Snopkov said.
