One of the most significant events in the country’s business schedule – Belarusian Investment Forum – was opened in Minsk on 28 September. This year the event has gathered about 500 participants: representatives of international and foreign financial institutions, private foreign investors, heads of government agencies, representatives of the national business community and the expert community. Among the multitude of sessions, discussions, and business meetings a tour of the China-Belarus industrial park Great Stone was one of the most vivid items on the itinerary. Foreign participants of the forum and reporters saw what is going on at the site where an eco-friendly city of innovative manufacturing enterprises and technologies of the future is being built. There was virtually nothing there as little as three years ago.
