The delegation led by the governor of Minks – Mr. Isachanka Anatoli arrived in Chongqing on March 21st and started the visit to seek broader and deeper cooperation with Chongqing in trade and business, cultural tourism etc.
On the morning of March 22st the China Chongqing – Belarus Minsk Business Forum was held in the Foreign Affairs Office of Chongqing Municipal People's Government.

After the fruitful signing ceremony, Mr. Isachanka took the interview with iChongqing, to share his thoughts on the cooperation between Chongqing and Minsk.
“Minsk and Chongqing have reached two important achievements.” Said the Governor firmly. “The Belarus Culture and Tourism products Promotion Center has been opened in Chongqing. It is a platform that can help to promote cooperation between Chongqing and Minsk.” He explained the first achievement. Then he continued with the second one, “Tomorrow, we will attend the opening ceremony of VELES Meat Trading Company. It is the first company that Minsk has invested in China.”
