Mondo International Updated on 2024-01-29

Belarus's two visits to China have attracted the attention of countries around the world. During Lukashenko's visit to China, the Chinese leader pointed out that China and Belarus are important forces in the reform and construction of the global governance system, and expressed their willingness to strengthen coordination and cooperation within multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, promote the implementation of the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. This implies that China sees Belarus as an important partner, not just a small landlocked country.

Belarus is located in the middle of the Eurasian continent, bordered by Russia to the east, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to the west, and Ukraine to the south. In the context of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the status and role of Belarus have become the focus of global attention. In particular, the alliance between Russia and Belarus and the nuclear sharing treaty have greatly enhanced Belarus's international status. At the same time, Lithuania, as one of the main promoters of the "domino effect of supporting Taiwan" created by anti-Chinese countries and the United States, has led people to associate Lithuania's relations with Belarus. Therefore, Belarus's accession to the SCO and BRICS has become an important issue.

In July this year, Belarus officially applied for BRICS membership and became an "associate member" of BRICS. At the same time, Russia's Vladimir Putin visited the Middle East, and Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which visited abroad, are also "associate members" of the BRICS. This raises the question of whether China and Russia have unanimous consultations on the Middle East issueDuring his talks with Lukashenko, the Chinese leader revealed an important detail, namely that China and Belarus are important forces in the reform and construction of the global governance system. From the point of view of the BRICS and the SCO, Belarus will become a "breakout" state, embedded between the three Baltic states, Poland and Ukraine. In addition, Belarus is also an active supporter and participant of the Belt and Road Initiative, and through in-depth cooperation with China, it has become a pearl project of the Belt and Road Initiative.

The accession of Belarus is also exemplary for the development of the three Baltic states, Ukraine and Poland. In the BRICS and the SCO, the role of Belarus may become unique and significant. Belarus is located on the border and buffer zone between Russia and the collective West, and a stable and confident experience is crucial for the SCO countries. And when the Russian-Ukrainian war is about to enter a critical stage, Ukraine is no longer able to ** and Western aid is decreasing, the relationship between China, Russia and Belarus is particularly important. Lukashenko's visit to China and Putin's visit to the Middle East can be seen as part of China's proposed "reform of the global governance system".

In general, the visit of Belarusian ** Lukashenko to China caused speculation in countries around the world. China attaches great importance to Belarus and mentioned in the talks that the two sides are important to participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system, which further strengthens the willingness of the two countries to cooperate. As a geographically sensitive country, Belarus's accession to the BRICS and the SCO and deepening cooperation with China on the Belt and Road Initiative are of great strategic importance. The role and status of Belarus in neighboring Ukraine and the three Baltic states cannot be ignored. With the progress of China-Russia-Belarus relations, it will have an important impact on the Russia-Ukraine war and regional stability. The social impact of this event is to demonstrate China's emphasis on global governance and cooperation, while also raising concerns about regional security and strategic patterns.

There is no update on the talks, but it is foreseeable that China-Belarus cooperation will continue to deepen, which will help promote the reform and construction of the global governance system. The impact of this incident is that it has further strengthened the position and role of Belarus in the international arena and strengthened its cooperative relations with China. At the same time, the meeting also conveyed to other countries China's active role in global governance and the importance of the Belt and Road Initiative. This poses a question for the reader: what do you think will be the impact of Belarus' accession to the BRICS and the Belt and Road Initiative on the regional and international landscape?I hope that readers can actively participate in the discussion and work together on this issue.
