The parties agreed to implement joint projects, noting the high level of mutually beneficial co-operation aimed at increasing container traffic on the China-Europe-China route and export-import transportation on the China-Belarus-China route.
Valery Verenich drew attention to the fact that Belarus is not only a transit link, but also an important trade and logistics partner of China. “The friendly relations between the leaders of our countries give an additional impetus to the development of China-Belarus-China transportation,” he said.

A memorandum of understanding was signed by the parties following their talks, and the document demonstrates their desire to reach a new level of partnership, jointly build logistics for railway transportation along international transport corridors, intensify and promote practical co-operation, and dynamically develop container train services.
