A reception was held in Beijing on Friday to mark the 10th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Belarus.

The reception was jointly sponsored by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) and the China-Belarus Friendship Association (CBFA).

The Chairman of the House of Republics of the Belarussian National Assembly A.P.Voitovich and the Vice-Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) Tomur Dawamat attended the reception.

Speaking on the occasion, CPAFFC's Vice-President Suguang said that China and Belarus have maintained frequent high-level visits and expanded their communication and cooperation in the fields of trade and economy, science and technology, education and sport since the establishment of the diplomatic relations ten years ago.

Su said, the Chinese President Jiang Zemin and the Belarussian President Lukashenko issued a joint statement last April which said that bilateral comprehensive friendly cooperation relations, which were established on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-existence and a high-degree of mutual trust and coordination had now been lifted to a new level.

Su expressed his appreciation to the Belarussian government for its adherence to the one-China policy, believing the bilateral relations will take the 10th anniversary as an opportunity to achieve further progress.

Ambassador Vladimir Rusakevich of the Belarus Embassy to China said that Belarus attaches great importance to developing comprehensive bilateral relations with China.

Both China and Belarus believe that it is a major decision for the two countries in accordance with the changing international situation and in the fundamental and long-term interests of both countries to deepen their relations, said Rusakevich.

Rusakevich hopes to further improve China-Belarus relations, and to look for more chances to boost bilateral cooperation in various fields.

A special stamp to mark the 10th anniversary of the China- Belarus diplomatic ties was issued here today.
