On the evening of July 23, 2026, local time, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, met with Belarusian Foreign Minister Rezhenkov before attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Foreign Ministers Meeting in Kyrgyzstan. Wang Yi said that China and Belarus are good partners that can be trusted by each other. In recent years, thanks to the strategic planning and personal care of President Xi Jinping and President Lukashenko, the all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Belarus has maintained a high level of operation, and cooperation in various fields has achieved encouraging results. Not long ago, the two heads of state met again in Beijing to make new arrangements for the further development of bilateral relations. Next year marks the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Belarus. Standing at a new historical starting point, China is ready to work with Belarus to plan exchanges at all levels in accordance with the clear direction of the heads of state of the two countries, strengthen the interface between development strategies, deepen the exchange of experience in governing the country, promote the high-quality development of Sino-Belarusian relations, lead the all-round progress of cooperation between the two countries, and bring more welfare to the two peoples. Wang Yi said that mutual support is the proper meaning of a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Belarus around the clock. China will, as always, support Belarus in maintaining its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, follow a development path in line with its national conditions, and oppose interference in the internal affairs of Belarus by outside forces under any pretext. For a long time, Belarus has unswervingly stood with China on issues of core interests involving China, and China appreciates this. Congratulations to Belarus for becoming a founding member of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization. We look forward to strengthening cooperation with Belarus within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, promoting the construction of the “Four Centers” in the field of security and preparations for a development bank, and pushing the SCO into a new stage of high-quality development. Rezhenkov said that the heads of state of Belarus and China have maintained a high level and high frequency of communication, leading bilateral relations to an unprecedented level and establishing a high level of mutual trust like hardcore brothers. The Belarusian side thanks China for its strong support and assistance over a long period of time. It will firmly develop relations with China, promote comprehensive cooperation between the two sides, and learn from China's successful experience. We look forward to using the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations next year as an opportunity to strengthen cooperation between the two sides in the fields of industry, investment, information technology, etc., and expand local and cultural exchanges. The Belarusian side is honored to join the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization and is willing to closely communicate and collaborate with China on multilateral platforms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Facts have proved that the path chosen by Belarus is correct, and there is more room for future cooperation between the two countries. The two sides have jointly signed the 2026-2027 consultation plan of the foreign ministries of the two countries.
