“Cooperation with the Eurasian Economic Union should make part of the economic policy of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Yet, this theme has not been outlined within the SCO,” Alexander Lukashenko said.

In his words, the parties have a lot of other areas of common interest. Belarus supports the Silk Road Economic Belt initiative of Chinese President Xi Jinping. “With the Chinese-Belarusian Industrial Park Great Stone we demonstrate readiness to become one of the key actors in this grandiose plan,” the Belarusian leader stated.

With its big industrial, scientific and innovative potential Belarus always has an opportunity to take part in mutually beneficial infrastructure projects that are being implemented or will be implemented on the SCO platform, including in the areas of transport, logistics and energy. “Holding leading positions in ensuring food security, we are ready to share our practices in the sector,” said the President.

“Taking into account high significance of international transportation in the trade and economic cooperation Belarus is ready to become “a western gate” for the SCO member states on their way to the European continent. Our country is also fully open for cooperation in the areas of industry, science, education, tourism and humanitarian cooperation,” Alexander Lukashenko said.

“We hope that this potential will be utilized to the maximum in the development of promising plans and projects within the SCO,” the Belarusian leader added.
