The China-Belarus Industrial Park, jointly developed by the two countries, is an important project that will contribute to the Belt and Road Initiative, said Kiryl Rudy, Belarusian ambassador to China.

The park has attracted Chinese companies such as Huawei, ZTE, Zoomlion and China Merchants Group, Rudy said via email before Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's visit to China, which starts on Wednesday.

The ambassador called the project the "most promising area of Belarus-China cooperation" and said it "is bound to become the core" of bilateral economic and investment cooperation.
