Hu Zheng noted that apart from Belarusian and Chinese companies there are enterprises from Europe in the park, in particular, enterprises established by companies residing in Germany, Romania, and Austria. Hu Zheng noted that there are certain difficulties with attracting investments into the park. He noted it is important to encourage a large number of companies to set up enterprises in the park. “I believe and hope that as the China-Belarus industrial park grows larger, as its influence and fame grow stronger, efforts to attract investments will become more successful. It is an open park. We are not building a Chinese-Belarusian park but an international one. And we welcome companies with investments from any country,” said the SZAO Industrial Park Development Company CEO.

Great changes have taken place in the China-Belarus industrial park Great Stone this year. The park is in the active development phase. Infrastructure in the starting area of 3.5km2 has been built. “One can say that now the park has all the necessary conditions for attracting investments,” stressed Hu Zheng. In his words, the construction of infrastructure in the first stage deployment area of 8.5km2 will continue in 2017.
