On June 29, Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko began an unannounced visit to China. In Beijing, he has already met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to Pul Pervogo.
In the morning, Lukashenko's plane landed at Beijing’s Shoudu International Airport. Shortly thereafter, the official meeting between Lukashenko and the Chinese leader began.
"Current Sino-Belarusian relations are at a historic high," Xi Jinping states.
Lukashenko responds by saying that he greatly appreciates such a positive assessment of relations between Minsk and Beijing.
According to Lukashenko, he and the Chinese leader will discuss global cooperation.
"This is what we discussed. And perhaps, to some extent, we dreamed of this global cooperation between Belarus and the People’s Republic of China on the eve of this meeting," adds the illegitimate President of Belarus.
Incidentally, this is Alexander Lukashenko’s 17th visit to China. It follows his meeting with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.
Earlier, RBC-Ukraine revealed all the details of the meeting between the Belarusian and Russian leaders at Putin’s private residence in Valdai.
On the eve of the talks, Lukashenko demanded that the Russian authorities not drag Belarus into the war against Ukraine.
Despite this, the Kremlin is actively seeking new ways to open a second front. Indeed, Belarusians may even be ordered to fight for Russia.
Recently, Lukashenko quickly shut down the relay stations for the Shahed drones following a stern ultimatum from Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
