World benefits from China's production capacity: Belarusian official

A Belarusian official has said China's production capacity is exactly what Belarus and other countries need, emphasizing the benefits from cooperating with China.

Natalya Kochanova, chairwoman of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of Belarus, made the remarks during an interview with the China Global Television Network (CGTN) on the sidelines of the All-Belarusian People's Assembly in Minsk on Wednesday.

"We see China using its own capacity to produce quality goods, which undoubtedly demonstrates its advanced productivity. I think it is necessary and beneficial for every other country to cooperate with China in economic or other fields," said Kochanova.

The All Belarusian People's Assembly is a general meeting of the Belarusian government with industry leaders and other top officials from every sector of the government. It has previously been held six times from 1996 to 2021.
