MINSK, 12 August (BelTA) – Exchange of visits by children from Belarus and China will contribute to the fruitful cooperation between the two countries, Belarus Deputy Prime Minister Natalia Kochanova said as she met with the children from China who came to Belarus for recuperation at the national children’s center Zubryonok, BelTA has learned.
According to Natalia Kochanova, the visit of Chinese children to Belarus became possible thanks to the friendly relations between the two countries, and the agreements reached between the heads of state.

Undoubtedly, this will contribute to the fruitful cooperation between the People's Republic of China and Belarus,” she said.
The Deputy Prime Minister expressed the hope that the children will enjoy their stay in Belarus. "Maybe it will turn out important in your lives. Maybe some of you will want to go back to meet your friends, or maybe you will continue your studies in our beautiful country," she said.
The Chinese kids are staying in Belarus from 10 to 19 August. The program includes health-promoting and educational activities. They will also get familiar with the historical and cultural heritage of Belarus.
