Belarusbank and China Development Bank are committed to widening the scope of bilateral cooperation and implementation of promising projects. These topics became the central focus of the meeting between the management of the largest Belarusian bank and a delegation from the Chinese bank headed by vice president Zhou Qingyu. During negotiations in the Head Office in Minsk the parties made particular emphasis on the search of new areas for sustainable development of the relationships between Belarus and China in the financial area.
During bilateral meetings the parties discussed the outcomes of a visit of the state delegation of the Republic of Belarus to PRC. The delegation took part in the forum of international cooperation "Belt and Way" in April this year. Management of Belarusbank also visited Beijing as part of the official delegation from our country.
A number of agreements in the financial area were signed with the China Development Bank in the course of partnership. The largest of them is for attraction of an export loan in 2016 in the amount of USD 1.4 bln to finance the construction of a mining and processing complex for production of potassium fertilizers.
Due to close cooperation between the two parties Belarusbank has an opportunity to take part in topical workshops held by China Development Bank by the assignment of Interbank Association of Shanghai Cooperation Organization on an ongoing basis.
