The two presidents agreed to expand economic and trade cooperation, do a good job in building the China-Belarus Industrial Park, and focus on the joint building of the Belt and Road to advance cooperation in connectivity projects such as the China-Europe Railway Express service.

They pledged to jointly implement the China-proposed Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative.

"Faced with the unstable and uncertain international situation, China is ready to work with Belarus to promote the sound and stable development of bilateral relations at a high level," Xi told Lukashenko.

China is ready to strengthen coordination and cooperation with Belarus at multilateral fora, including the United Nations, to jointly address global challenges and build a community with a shared future for mankind, Xi said.
