China-Belarus: multilateral economic cooperation and its prospects
Abstract
The article analyzes China-Belarusian relations. The official relations between two states were established in 1992, but the rapid development in their bilateral relations was achieved only after the announcement of the One Belt One Road Initiative. Moreover, the geographical location of Belarus makes it an advantageous participant in the initiative and gives it the opportunity to develop closer and mutually beneficial relations between the two states. The article also examines the economic relations between China and Belarus, including trade and investment, which largely determines the prospects for the development of Sino-Belarusian relations today.
