Abstract
Chinese-Belarusian relations are developing and strengthening year after year. Mutually beneficial cooperation with China and Russia obviously affects the foreign policy identity of Belarus. In recent years, Belarus' position in the international arena has been complicated by the events after the presidential election (2020) and especially by the support of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine (2022). Under these conditions, Belarus is moving closer to Russia and intensifying the in-depth development of the Union State. At the same time, Belarus is strengthening its relations with China. The visits of the Belarusian president to Zimbabwe, the UAE, China, and Iran in 2023 show that Belarus is not completely isolated and has partners willing to deepen relations with each other for the sake of the future of their peoples.
