A declaration was signed in Minsk that will open up new prospects for universities in the two countries. The document is aimed at deepening scientific and technical cooperation and cultural exchange. A special place in it is occupied by the theme of preserving historical memory — an assessment of the contribution of the Belarusian and Chinese peoples to the Victory in the Second World War. The main objective of the declaration is to create strong, long-term mechanisms for such a partnership. The document was signed during the III meeting of the Chinese-Belarusian Association of Universities.
