Whoever chose Belarus won. The geographical location of our country attracts Chinese businessmen

Why the geographical position of Belarus gives good conditions for Chinese investments and exports, which areas of cooperation are the most promising, explained the General Director of the Shanghai Industrial and Trade Company Andrey Xu in the project “Actual Interview” of the First Information Channel.

Andrey Xu said that Belarus has become a platform from which it is convenient to supply products to Europe and other regions:

- It's a very good place. Whoever chose Belarus won.

For an example of successful cooperation, the CEO cited the Great Stone Industrial Park. Chinese manufacturers investing in the park have the opportunity to promote their products not only in Belarus, but also in other countries. This cooperation is beneficial for both sides, said Andrey Xu. Speaking about key flagship projects and priority areas for development until 2030, he highlighted new innovative technologies related to the automotive industry, mobile phones, artificial intelligence robots that can be used in enterprises. The expert also recommends the Belarusian market to large Chinese multinational companies and car manufacturers.

Andrey Xu drew attention to the interest of Chinese consumers in Belarusian goods. In particular, he brought to China candy factory "Kommunarka" and "Spartak". He shared that friends did not immediately believe that chocolate was produced in Belarus, and mistook it for the products of European manufacturers

- Belarusian enterprises maintain high quality standards and make their products from the heart, without cheating.

He added that the Chinese market is open to products from Belarus.

Another area of cooperation is tourism. Andrei Xu said that not only Belarusian citizens are interested in vacationing in China, but also Chinese travelers are attracted to Belarus and its nature. For example, on one of the Belavia flights from Urumqi to Minsk, a significant part of the passengers were Chinese tourists. In his opinion, the increase in the number of flights could contribute to the development of mutual tourist trips.
