Belarus is ready to provide Chinese business conditions and opportunities for entering the market of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko told a Belarusian-Chinese business forum.
"After opening manufacturing facilities in Belarus, Chinese business will be able to use free access to the market of the Eurasian Economic Union," Lukashenko said. At the same time, he noted that "the People's Republic of China is able to enter the big Eurasian Union without Belarus' help."
However, if we talk about cooperation with the European Union, and China needs it today, such a platform would be very promising for the country. Belarus can become a platform of this kind," TASS cited him as saying.
"It is necessary to implement investment projects in various industries to enhance regional cooperation," the President of Belarus added.
The President of China, in his turn, pointed out that "our relations are developing dynamically." Xi Jinping said that in 2014 the trade turnover between the countries increased by 27%, and in the first quarter of this year the volume of bilateral trade has increased by 17.3%.
