President Xi Jinping on Wednesday met Belarussian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko, who is in Beijing for Chinese commemorations of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.

Hailing the strength of their partnership, Xi said China and Belarus have been cooperating in many areas and supporting each other's core interests.
