The goal is long-term dynamics

Comprehensive development of relations with the countries of the long arc is a long-term strategy of Belarus within the framework of our multi-vector foreign policy and diversification of foreign trade relations. Asia is one of the main and promising areas, where priority is given to the development of cooperation with many major geoeconomic players and partners. The course towards the diversification of foreign trade partners made it possible to increase Belarusian exports to Asia to nearly two and a half billion dollars in 2021. China stands out among Belarus's partners in the Asian continent. In September 2022, the two countries adopted a joint declaration on the establishment of an all-weather and all-round strategic partnership to develop trade, economic, industrial, cooperative and scientific-technical cooperation. As for India, a roadmap has already been approved, which deals with significant Belarusian-Indian projects that will be implemented in various areas. Belarus's cooperation with Iran is also characterized by high development dynamics. How Belarus interacts with these and other partners in Asia is discussed in the proposed study.
