MINSK, June 5 /Xinhua/ — Few people know how to do business like their Chinese partners, and Belarusians have a lot to learn, Alexander Yaroshenko, head of the administration of the China-Belarus Industrial Park “Great Stone”, said on Wednesday on the Belarusian TV channel “First Information”.
“We are talking about building the right model of commercial success, building technologies in which China has now succeeded. During the current visit of the head of the Belarusian state to China, the issue of technological cooperation was discussed, among other things. For Belarus, as a country with a fairly wide range of industrial development, this is a very important aspect. Yes, we have our competitive advantages, technologies are developed, but China has gone far ahead. In order not to remain on the sidelines of the development of the global process, we need to move forward together. This is what we are doing at the Great Stone,” A. Yaroshenko noted.
He also reported that among the residents of the Great Stone, Chinese investors account for about 40 percent – 61 projects. In total, Chinese investors have invested more than 300 million US dollars in the industrial park. They also brought their technological innovations, developments, and equipment to Belarus, on which products are manufactured.
In addition, the head of the Great Stone administration pointed out that several large clusters have been formed in the industrial park. Chinese investors are very active in the field of research and development /R&D/.
A. Yaroshenko noted that the medical cluster is developing well in the Great Stone. According to him, the industrial park is working to attract both innovative Chinese medicine and traditional medicine. “We would like to develop Chinese medicine services, and we are making legislative initiatives for this, so that a Chinese doctor here feels no worse than in China,” the head of the park summarized. –0–
