Abstract
The article attempts to summarize the history of relations between China and the Republic of Belarus. The emphasis is placed on the forms of cooperation - economic, political and cultural. Relations between China and Belarus were officially established in 1992, but since 2013 the relations between these two countries have become deeper and reached a new level because the year of 2013 was the year when China officially launched its “One Belt - One Road” initiative. Belarus is interested in being a part of this project. Belarus’ advantageous economic and geographical position between Europe and China gives it the opportunity to be a kind of “bridge-state” between China and Europe. Nowadays, relations between the two countries are characterized as “iron brotherhood and all-weather cooperation”. Sanctions from Europe and the United States, after the election of the President of the Republic of Belarus in 2020, should not have a great influence on relations between Belarus and China.
