China and Belarus to create a “center for fundamental research”

“Belarus is interested in continuing to develop the partnership with China in the field of education,” Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said at a June 25 meeting with Hao Ping, secretary of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CPC) Beijing University Committee, and a delegation of representatives from 15 Chinese universities. They arrived in Minsk to participate in the Forum of Rectors of Higher Education Institutions of Belarus and China.

This visit serves as a clear example of the high level of relations between Belarus and China, an indicator of growing cooperation not only in the economic sphere, but also in the sphere of science, education and culture.
