The participation of Belarus in the Silk Road Economic Belt will bring a number of political dividends and represents a great opportunity for this country. It could led to additional investment, which is important for economic growth. China is becoming a springboard for the diversifying of the political and economic interests of Belarus, which can use this project to create a so-called security space for its sovereignty. In addition, this project is obviously aimed at deepening cultural and humanitarian cooperation. Thus, the promised benefits of Belarusian participation in this initiative seem obvious.
