"Let's admit it: Belarus is the only place in the center of Europe that maintains a friendly — or I could say brotherly — attitude toward China," the Belarusian leader told Chinese media in an interview aired Monday.

The Belarusian head of State added that relations between the two countries will remain as such for decades to come and will potentially outlast his presidency.

"We would win a lot here from both logistics and direct trade as well as from exchanging advanced technologies… We have recently discussed ways to deepen cooperation with the Chinese at the summits of CIS and EAEU leaders, primarily as part of the 'One Belt One Road' concept," he said.

Lukashenko accused the US of fueling a divide between China and Europe, noting that Washington has abused of the human rights rhetoric in efforts to trigger a civil war in China. 

He suggested that China could "balance out" the US and assist with the creation of a multipolar world order.
