[000:00:00;00] today the number one question about what has been done and the new stage of cooperation we will hear about the main thing from minsk and beijing nikolai gennadievich hello and welcome back, of course, you had negotiations in beijing with your arrival and significant important active even in duration much longer. than planned. when he returns to ming, he immediately joins the work on the belarusian-chinese direction, and what would you say is the most important thing for today. well, first of all, we never turned off the president does not allow to turn off from this work because the success this work depends on day-to-day consistent systemic interaction with chinese partners. otherwise, you won't be able to get results. this is the first. it was the state language. this is the highest level of diplomatic political interaction

between countries, the second. we were really looking forward to this visit against the backdrop of the coronavirus against the backdrop of the sanctions against the backdrop of the changing situation in the world against the backdrop. uh, the behavioral aggressive actions of western countries, of course, are transforming economic ties, and we were really looking forward to this visit for a simple reason. uh, our president president of the republic of belarus alexander grigoryevich lukashenko is a friend of comrade senzin, and this was clearly expressed in this. what we see, they are friends and the corresponding momentum, the corresponding chemistry. they handed over, among other things, to those people who are already responsible for the implementation of the tasks that were set earlier and for the implementation of the tasks that the leaders agreed on. and within the framework of this state visit, therefore

, this is probably the most important thing on the basis of this will say what is really many applied agreements , memorandum agreements between state bodies were signed. quite right, besides this, well, more than a dozen specific contracts have been signed between the business entity. this is important. this is very important. it can be digitized. this can be felt today, but even more important is the agreement, which is of a forward-looking nature. and secondly, and most importantly, the leaders actually signed the mechanisms, approaches, directions, principles of interaction for a decade. i think it's important that the leaders have paved the way. we go there, we go

thus. once again we confirmed that we are going together. this is the third main thing, and the second main thing is perspective. not today, the prospect of 10 years, but not less than 10 years, the third main thing is that together once again we are all members of the delegations from the belarusian side from the chinese side and once again convinced that we are together, because, of course, elements of the so-called. well, everyone already knows the terms these secondary sanctions are elements of secondary sanctions fears, fears, they were present, but at the same time. i think that this visit dotted everything and we are moving forward together with china in the framework of joint development based on a new level of cooperation. all weather strategic partnership. we are extremely interested in deepening

cooperation with china on technological development. including the creation of joint ventures the modernization of belarusian enterprises with the introduction of modern chinese technologies the promotion of goods and services on the market of third countries the potential of huge bilateral projects, of course, now it's a big job. here the leader defined the strategy and would say that the main thing is a ten-year perspective, at least a perspective and, of course, a big one is working at the level of government ministries. yes, and each enterprise as a whole, both in areas. at negotiations , of course, a member of the delegation always notes something , writes down something, here are your notes in the margins, that you noted the main important thing for yourself. - they will come up, then i will then take notes, of course, let's see. this is all that was brought no, this is

not everything i brought. this is only part of yes , well, uh, president of the republic of belarus lukashenko and the chairman of the people's republic of china , this is generally a broad composition of the president. joint technological development has suggested this in this situation of sanctions. it is an essential element of the co-development strategy of co-technological development. by the way , during the state visit , an agreement on joint technological development was signed between the ministry of industry of the republic of belarus and the ministry of industry. china's technology is the most important thing that we can and should cooperate with china to develop in the country the technology of this technological sovereignty technological sovereignty is economic sovereignty economic sovereignty is

nationality. it's all simple. machine tool building electric vehicles the construction of parts for agricultural machinery, and the joint implementation of scientific developments sanctions of the president of the republic of belarus this is a new opportunity , a unique situation has developed for him, he should not miss it, as suggested. cd-ping at one time, the head of our country proposed an in-depth partnership with three provinces. this is an in-depth partnership with the central cities of tian-jin, and qingdao and chongqing are such hubs of china chongqing is logistics is e-commerce is commerce. and it's, uh, elements aren't elements in the grand scheme of things. this is the starting point for the movement of container trains from china to europe and from europe to china, and this

agreement defines the possibility of working on the principle of a green corridor, that is, the cargo is not checked at the border, but it is checked already at the destination. what is the purpose? plus such interesting important elements as one of the elements of e-relationship with this province are the elements of a subsidy from the province. transportation by train is phlogistic, expensive now and a subsidy, they allow you to reduce costs, and, accordingly , the belarusian goods will be the most competitive in the chinese market, as one of the elements, so that it is clear what is at stake. yes, and tin ding is a port and a powerful developing industrial zone , and the central government of china pays a lot of attention, and the development is pulling diesel, by the way, not very far from beijing . which is also important, but it is a powerful developing port and qingdao is a little

further south. this is also a powerful port, but there my positioning is mostly two directions. this is a production medical operation and the active participation of our enterprises in the free zone of the sco, which is located exactly in tsindala, the president of our country on this trip very much, guiding us spoke about the fundamentality, the mission is not a minute today to decide, namely to decide today so that it works. tomorrow the day after tomorrow sindipin. this is a quote in response to the new form of sanctions. import substitution, we will help in all automotive production, we will support in all aspects and the final phrase. well, at least the mark is that i have more methods than problems. there are more ways to solve problems. what's the problem.

the notes are already getting more rosy, but of course, this is not enough and small and small tolika of what the leaders discussed, what we still need to work out, uh structure. the most important thing is what, by the way, again, the president repeatedly spoke to a member of the delegation, and this became a task for me directly. they came back and forgot the success of the work. with china, this is constancy. it's every day. this work is such that , first of all, our chinese partners feel that we need it, if we forget, they think that we do not need it . and then it works. whenever you start a new stage , it is important to evaluate some new projects. what has been done today and how the implementation was going on, if we talk about our projects with the prc, how would you rate it so that you can leave the previous ones transferred to the next one?

well, it’s better to leave something and get rid of it, but to improve it, based on the current modern conditions, until recently, the only country that gave us loans for industrial facilities. this is china whatever it was, but 25 projects implemented in the amount of 5 billion us dollars, which created jobs and today provide a powerful added value in the country and a corresponding strong export potential. and today there are four projects worth one and a half billion us dollars in the final stage - these are five projects worth about $500 million. that is, the topic is a topic, the lively question is only the availability of projects and the ability to prove that a business plan is correctly drawn up, because the chinese , our chinese partners , study the business plan very carefully and carefully, the second side

, an important amount of funds has been allocated and will be allocated for infrastructure projects. these projects are often implemented not only and not only due to financial but credit history. but at the expense of economic aid technology, in principle, at the moment , more than 200 million us dollars of projects completed, they are a gift and more than 200 million oe in the equivalent of us dollars , technical and economic assistance projects are being implemented today, which are directly aimed at a - and social projects, this is social housing, the third stage is the two most powerful ones. well, it's just such, i don't know the historical sports projects. this is a personal merit of the president of our country. this an international-class swimming pool and an international-class stadium, moreover, in a situation where we are cut off from world financial

markets, the direction that needs to be actively developed and such agreements within the state were. here we have a new agreement for 3 1/2 billion dollars. yes, well, yes, a little more. yes, this is, uh, let's say the cumulative economic effect, for example, but there was a specific problem with uh, luggage service at the airport, since we had equipment there , for the time being, equipment from an unfriendly country. if it breaks then have software. yes, that's all, that is , there are serious difficulties in servicing, the chinese partners immediately reacted to passengers at our airport and will supply chinese- made equipment, and delivery will be in a month. that is, they are actually such emergency assistance when we talk about this amount, er,

more than 3 billion 600 and in principle. these are the projects that are already in the final stage, either by their implementation or by agreement. and this is what we started and it weighs 3 billion. everything, what we agreed on for the future. i i think it will be orders of magnitude higher, when we began to plan for the development of the economy for this year, the main points of growth are the export of investments. whether the role of china will increase in these areas both in terms of capital investments and the purchase of belarusian goods, the three-year work, uh, ended during the visit. we signed an agreement on the final procedure for interaction between the ministry of economy of the republic of belarus and the ministry of commercial china under an agreement on a free trade zone for investments and services.

it is the removal of mutual barriers, and the turnover of investments. and with the mutual turnover of services, we all talked about the record electricity turnover, including record exports for last year, but already in 2 months of this year, a billion 200 billion 200 turnovers, that is, for the entire year 5 and 8 in 2 months, a billion 200 and 78% increase in exports to the chinese people, the republic of mechanisms new work old we do not discard the new work, what is the new mechanism. this is work on principle, applications and work directly with associations of relevant profile directions, while we are working with five associations, what concerns, well , industries that are of direct interest to us, and an application for export. which is brought to our

enterprises by our ministry as a task , and for 2023 we plan to reach 2 billion 200 million exports - this is plus 400, but we expect to make plus 600 and an import application. an even more important thing is that today we have 107 enterprises from our various industries who have announced about 960 items of equipment and materials. and even 3 days ago. in china, i talked about seven hundred positions. today it is already 960, and , accordingly, these applications are placed in china with the same associations, which help to find a counterparty partner, help build the logistics of movement, equipment or raw materials that we need, as we understand, in the main. this is a critical import , by the way, within the same framework. the state visit was

signed on an agreement on one in total was signed by four presidents of the great stone, but one of them will produce. ah, tubes. the so-called element that is used in x-ray equipment. this is the most important element, and which breaks down quite often and everything is expensive, expensive is very important hmm and the equipment is worth moreover with these partners , a roadmap has already been defined for the production of their equipment in belarus , the council of ministers has significantly replenished the car in recent years . and even according to the results of last year, this car is among the leaders in sales. although there were some difficulties in the supply of conflicting parties , they were discussing at these negotiations. if

there are already some agreements on the topic and in general for this year, we will it is good to produce, but the samino fleet and the business administration fleet have no idea what medium-term prospects they will drive. well, they won't drive. they will have what, and there are such cars and arrangements, but they lived here. clearly, the whole arrangement. uh, the iron is that we will produce 37 somewhere at the end of 37.000. at the end of april , the business situation on the domestic market and on the russian market will be determined. we all see, in principle, that the situation is positive, respectively, the president the task was set this year to reach 60,000 car production by the president at a meeting with comrades, it was clearly determined that belarus has a high competence in the car building , mechanical engineering of columns, including car building. therefore, a number of agreements, and first of all, development,

localization of geely so that we produce here as many technological processes as possible. today it is an agreement on welding and painting, tomorrow it is an agreement. well , that is, after a while this an agreement that already exists and the implementation of stamping, the belarusian market is waiting. e at the beginning of the assembly, and a large assembly, and then the localization of in-depth production, and electric vehicles pickups production of electric vehicles, and budgetary such city opinions on the business model. this is the most optimal option for an electric car city mini car electric trucks with a small tonnage, which is in great demand on the market today. both the russian federation and the republic of belarus and

, uh, the contract has already been signed with one of the chinese car manufacturers, and without european shares, purely chinese, these cars of the highest level , the whole delegation felt the cars, because they drove the whole delegation drove these cars. the beginning is laid , we will carry out the assembly. and in the future , the president outlined the issue of organizing full-cycle production within the framework of the state visit, we began to implement the president’s instruction on the need to preserve and develop technical thought in the republic of belarus engineering, so that we not only assemble, but so that we can localize and develop further, that is , improve these cars together with our chinese partners, thus

i repeat once again. this is the most important element, because it again characterizes the setting of tasks by the president of our country to always see deeper and go further. this project, which is like this, what they said , this is probably what we talked about at the beginning with you , too, for the future, because today there is some kind of base, but we are laying it down for the future the production of new cars of a new class and the same engineering ideas. others, in general , for today we have discussed all the main topics that are agreements in medicine in industry, and in the automotive industry. here's for you for today. what is the number one question question number one not in china question number one we ourselves have the most important question, so that we not only agree, but also implement with discipline, meticulously punctually with soul, what

the leaders agree on. thank you very much and of course success. new advanced level of cooperation record trade turnover and general principles of belarus’ international policy china is not just partners, but also reliable friends this visit of the belarusian leader to china was called a breakthrough by political scientists, the total economic effect exceeded $3.5 billion we will discuss in detail the results of belarus in china by yury blue. alyaksandr lukashenka's state visit to china has come to an end, we all saw how our president was greeted by a kind of guard of honor, special escort, and a map. it looked very effectively. well, they meet far away. not every guest here is correct, but i want to say that the chinese side once again stressed that our president. uh, a great friend of the people's republic of china , a great friend of sisimpin. from the point of view of the protocol, she did everything at the highest level, at the highest level in terms of observing all the attributes of a state

visit. it was seen by all of china. i am convinced that the whole world saw it. this underlines the nature of our bilateral relations. this is a signal to the whole world. how partnerships between our countries , the desire to live, work, work together to look for new tasks for our countries at the ceremony shows that we have done a lot of work before in general, of course, the results of the work are very impressive. whose even a pandemic these 3 years. they were, uh, difficult for our countries in terms of contact in a barrel there format, but at the same time, we worked out many issues , solved them thanks to video conferences , meetings by telephone, and uh, we got the result even in the twenty-second year, if we take the statistics of our mutual trade. we have an increase in belarusian exports to the people's republic of china of about 176%. this is a good result.

uh, if we take the growth rate of exports, then we have moved from 138th position of all countries that traded with china to 30. uh, sixth, which means that belarus is not interested in china, belarusian goods, belarusian export products needs some additional publicity for the chinese. they know perfectly well what the republic of belarus is and the name itself, belarus is already says that it is quality, that it is ecologists. and that these are very useful goods, especially foodstuffs, today our ministry of agriculture is ready to increase. uh, the volume of trade from china, if this is a potential, uh, due to the fact that we are increasing production capacity, not even due to redistribution, uh, all the sanctions in general are topics for us. e, understandable e, we redistributed, diversified exports, and today we are talking about. about increasing the volume of production and, accordingly , an offer to our chinese friends. e our

belarusian products. we will see this at the end of 2023. even january 2023. today is characterized by the growth of exports of belarusian products. at 200%. i am also 200 percent convinced that the results of these negotiations will have a colossal effect and excellent results. we have achieved almost impossible. we then dreamed. up to 5 billion in trade. today we have almost 6 billion trade between belarus and china, and this trade is constantly growing; we have no closed topics for cooperation. we cooperate on all directions. and most importantly, we have never set ourselves, the people 's republic of china, belarus, to be friends or work against third countries against

anyone, we do everything in the interests of our peoples for 4 hours. it's twice as long as planned. after all, we know some generally strict chinese protocol, but at the same time , the state department haunts many, the united states said there that almost alexander lukashenko his visits to china are perceived as some kind of deepening of relations between russia and china. meetings. they were permeated, uh, with the atmosphere of bilateral contacts between the republic of belarus . the thai people's republic, as a sovereign independent state, is building our relations with the people's republic of china in the interests of. uh, our two countries are not to please someone, not against someone, and this manifested itself. uh, in every minute of every second of conversation between our leaders. yes, indeed, the conversation was quite lengthy from the point of view of the protocol, but at the same time, neither side expressed any regrets that this was a conversation was more in our lead. we agreed

to continue holding meetings in the near future , there was an invitation to visit us in the republic of belarus , and the people's republic of china, represented by the chairman, invited our president to visit us in the near future. uh. china i convinced that these meetings will continue and will be filled with content. e, sounding and i am convinced that they will continue to be no less effective. i think a very interesting point about this is worth telling about the intricacies of the outdated mentality. everyone says that the chinese are so careful quickly, they do not make contacts, and it so happened that literally after 5 months. after the heads of state adopted a declaration in samarkand on our advanced level of cooperation. and so, please, during this visit , in fact, as an additional yes, a joint statement by the leaders, which specifically, uh, defines all our areas of cooperation, on the contrary, if they are interested in a topic, they start, you can say, cut off the phone until ten in the evening and sharply 6:00 am start

again in china a lot of competition and he, if this topic is interesting, he will strive to get as much information as possible for himself to figure out how profitable it is and make a very quick decision. i visited 14 provinces. e, talked with the leadership of the province. communicated with the local population. uh, very good reviews about the republic of belarus are well known to the republic of belarus and not only hand. but the population of the country and us are very pleased to continue the topic. e promoting our cooperation. i want to note that interaction with our country is only uh, moving, uh, at an increasing pace if see the text, a of the joint statement adopted by the leaders. well, really, this is a breakthrough and such a level of relations with china , probably, in general, this is an agreement with a few countries. this is a document that the leaders of our country have signed. he gives a signal. e work of joint work in all areas

of our bilateral cooperation. this is medicine too. these are sports and tourism and industry and agriculture in absolutely all spheres. we have already done a lot in these areas, but there is still more to be done in ours. uh, he sees two countries opportunities and prospects in this mutual e- cooperation, therefore this e-document. e , directed to the future, which sets certain goals and tasks, with which our countries are convinced will work very actively to correct china recently voiced its position on the management of the crisis. certainly in ukraine. this topic was also raised at the talks. very juicy in our approaches. in contrast, it takes place at a very difficult time. requiring new non-standard approaches to responsible political decisions, they should be aimed primarily at preventing sliding into a global confrontation in

which there will be no winners, you have been clearly and punctually about this recently. they declared, addressing the world community. that is why belarus actively comes up with proposals for peace, all the body supports the initiative put forward by you on international security. our head of state stressed that the republic of belarus is watching the initiatives very attentively. china's recent head of state interview sounded that hearing china's voice in this direction is recommended. basically everyone, like participants in the conflict. so, in fact, to all countries that, well, somehow today have not yet fully realized the extent of the problem and the consequences that will affect the whole world, this conversation was also between our leaders . and the leaders stressed that it is necessary to combine efforts to strive and continue to work on

to influence this conflict in such a way that the parties move to a peaceful one. discussing issues, finding solutions that are favorable for everyone and actually for the whole world, your diplomatic mission, it fell on the difficult time of the pandemic, when china was generally cut off from the outside world, but if you look globally, uh, yes, if some contacts went online, we didn’t sink much, it’s even our trade about it. says almost there six billion significant result. here, how i managed, i will still stretch it out, such a level of time, of course, was difficult in a certain sense. but we, like uh, diplomats are obliged to look for solutions that will be available for a specific period, and we know very well that hmm live and work, because yesterday will no longer work, because time dictates new tasks , some new difficulties appear that need to be solved
