Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in Beijing on Wednesday. Congratulating Lukashenko again on his reelection as the president of Belarus, Xi said the two countries are true friends and good partners, treating each other with sincerity and trust.

Noting that China and Belarus share an enduring traditional friendship, formidable political mutual trust and growing cooperation in all fields, Xi said China has always viewed and developed China-Belarus relations from a strategic and long-term perspective.
