Dear colleagues and dear friends!For so many years of my life I have been connected with China - as a Co-chair of the Belarus-China Intergovernmental Committee for Cooperation, as an Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to this country, as a scholar. In 2009 I worked in China and I saw with my own eyes the enormous emotional, patriotic and labor inspiration, generated within Chinese society by preparations to mark the 60-th anniversary of New China - the People’s Republic of China founding. What a faith in homeland’s great future shone in the eyes of all the Chinese, I happened to meet at that time!Precisely 10 years have passed. Already living in Belarus, I watched at the large-size monitor, broadcasting the celebrations at Tian’anmen Square, and I saw again the same happy faces of thousands of Chinese I did 10 years before. So what are the origins of their happiness? I believe the Chinese are so happy because they were not deceived in their expectations, and because today their homeland is the country they dreamed it has to become. And I’m sure this 70-th PRC anniversary is going to become another important milestone in realizing the greatest dream of the Chinese people about the magnificent revival of the Chinese nation.The New China construction was launched and then was underway in difficult conditions. But the country’s social and economic development results, achieved during four decades of reforms and opening up policy, are really unique in the world’s history. For these forty years (just forty!) China has transformed from a country with vast territory and huge population into the great world power. The analogy to the phenomenon like this does not exist in the world’s history!While studying Chinese society various spheres of the social and economic development, I’m getting more and more convinced that the experience accumulated by China is of great practical importance not only for the further development of PRC itself and for the other Asian countries, but in many respects for the rest states of the planet. And it’s very possible that through some certain time we shall come to conclusion that the model of the social and economic system, that is being formed in China, is the most optimal for the XXI century.It’s no way to comprehend the nature of the “Chinese phenomenon” apart from understanding the Communist Party of China participation in its creation.The Communist Party of China, to my deepest belief, is the genuine leader of the Chinese. It enjoys people’s entire confidence and full support. And China today - is the result of CPC and people unity. And to my mind only the unity of the kind provides the future of China.It’s obviously, that China’s influence and contribution into modern world development is becoming more and more significant and much more in demand. Why so? I do remember quite clearly the time when humanity was coming out of the state of Cold War epoch full of joy and expectation. But when the coming out was through, these high feelings gradually started to fade. It so happened that the world didn’t turn out to get improved, it became even more problematic with its future less predictable. It’s all because along with the end of Cold War epoch the post-World War II system of checks and balances was destroyed, that very system that previously provided world events’ comparative stability and predictability.Nowadays the world so sharply requires some new system of checks and balances to match the realities of XXI century. And the war component of this new system will no longer play that vital role it did last century. The political, economic and moral factors are to play and will definitely play the decisive role. There is no alternative to this way. And China’s role in shaping this new system of checks and balances can’t be overestimated. And the stronger it is, the more influentially it could impact the forming of this new world order system. That’s why the development and the rise of China is not a threat to the world, but the chance.So why do I support such point of view, so why am I so convinced in that assessment? Because I’m quite positive about that there in China they realize well enough that in a sick and dysfunctional world it’s impossible to build up happy society in a single country. Therefore, to become more prosperous itself, China will help the other countries and peoples (at least those who are eager to) to get more prosperous too.But at the same time, one of the substantial features of our epoch is the fact that the world can never become prosperous if China is dysfunctional. In other words in XXI century the weight and the role of China in the world economy and world politics is so important, that may be for the first time in the history of the world the strategic interests and purposes of a great power coincide with the strategic interests and goals of mankind.Exactly that kind of understanding what XXI century earthly civilization state and development principal regularities are like - derives China’s initiative to create the “Community of the Shared Future for Mankind” and to construct “Belt and Road”, the initiatives which are so urgent for all of mankind. It’s a great country’s sincere appeal addressed to all the states and all the peoples to realize the danger hanging over the planet and build up together some better life, assisting each other and supporting the weaker. China not only declares its readiness to do so, but it operates this way.The Republic of Belarus is one of the first states to recognize and support Belt and Road Initiative. Belarus possesses the status of located along the Silk Road state, so geographically is situated within the borders of its economic belt. And this circumstance allows the country to be engaged into project implementation by the whole of resources, including trade, economic, scientific, technical, humanitarian and transport potential, as well as law enforcement. One of the most high-profile joint projects within Belt and Road Initiative is the construction of the largest in Europe Chinese - Belarusian industrial park named “Great Stone”.Concluding my report to the high-level international forum I would like to sincerely congratulate the Chinese people with the People’s Republic of China founding 70th anniversary and wish them successful realization of the Chinese dream. After all, the Chinese dream as well as the dream of the mankind are hand in hand going into the future. And I really want and really believe that our descendants will have it.
