BEIJING, 16 May (BelTA) – Belarus and China have agreed to set up a working group to fight against color revolutions and terrorism. The matter was discussed at the talks between Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing on 16 May, BelTA has learned.

The Belarusian-Chinese cooperation is not limited to economic and investment areas only. Belarus fully supports China’s determination to promote international peace. “The cooperation between our states in the security area, military and special forces field testifies to the fact. A joint working group to combat color revolutions and international terrorism, internal separatism and religious extremism will add a new impetus to cooperation in these sectors,” Alexander Lukashenko said.

Belarus also shows interest in further expansion of military and technical cooperation, including the implementation of projects on the modernization of the multiple-launch rocket system Polonez, the development of cutting-edge weapons, military hardware and other export-oriented military and double-purpose products.

The State Secretariat of the Security Council of Belarus and the Ministry of Public Security of China are gearing up to sign new agreements to promote closer contacts in the areas such as investigative and expert activities and the coordinated migration policy.

“Our cooperation in the security area demonstrates to the full extent the level of trustworthy comprehensive strategic partnership and mutually beneficial cooperation between the two states,” the Belarusian leader stressed.
