中國正在準備用紅地毯歡迎盧卡申科的來訪

中國正準備歡迎俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·普京的一位重要的獨裁國家盟友進行國事訪問，美國官員警告說，北京可能正在考慮幫助莫斯科繼續對烏克蘭發動進攻。

中國外交部周日宣布，應中國國家主席習近平的邀請，白俄羅斯總統亞曆山大·盧卡申科定於周二至周四在北京與中國官員舉行會談。

他此行之前，兩位領導人同意在 9 月於烏茲別克斯坦舉行的上海合作組織 (SCO) 峰會期間舉行的一次會議上將兩國關係升級為“全天候全麵戰略夥伴關係”，普京也出席了此次峰會。

China is preparing to welcome a key autocratic ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin for a state visit, amid warnings from United States officials that Beijing may be considering aiding Moscow in its ongoing assault on Ukraine.

Belarus' President Alexander Lukashenko is scheduled to hold talks with Chinese officials in Beijing from Tuesday to Thursday at the invitation of Chinese leader Xi Jinping, China's Foreign Ministry announced Sunday.

His trip comes after the two leaders agreed to upgrade their countries' ties to an "all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership" during a September meeting on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Uzbekistan, which Putin also attended.
