"You have opened a new page in the development of the People's Republic of China - the era of realizing the dream of a great revival of the Chinese nation and building a moderately prosperous society, a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The positive changes that have occurred over the past few years in the internal and external political life of Great China breathed more strength into the Belarusian-Chinese relations, and I am proud that our personal friendship and partnership between the two countries are getting stronger every year," the message says.

The Head of State also expressed his gratitude for the invitation to take part in the recent summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
