During the opening ceremony Belarusian Culture Minister Boris Svetlov noted that the center will work to represent and popularize the cultural legacy as well as modern culture and art of Belarus in addition to providing information about the country's public, political, and economic life. Boris Svetlov noted that the center will assist with the advancement of Belarus-China cooperation in cultural affairs, humanitarian affairs, education, tourism, and information by expanding contacts and cooperation with creative, cultural, and educational institutions and the general public of the two countries.

The center will also assist with comprehensive cooperation between government agencies, non-governmental organizations, public institutions and organizations, twin city relations, and partnership ties between cities and regions of Belarus and China. The Belarusian culture center will host art exhibitions, concerts by Belarusian performers, national cuisine festivals, demonstrations of Belarusian documentaries, animation films and feature films. The scope of the center's work will include much more than that, stressed Boris Svetlov. Belarus-China relations advance dynamically and constructively across the board.

The successful advancement of political, trade, and economic ties is attributed to the affinity of principles of the domestic and foreign policies and the same views on topical problems in international relations. The comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries has reached a new development stage and has become an example of friendly relations, said the Belarusian culture minister. Boris Svetlov pointed out the stable ties in cultural affairs. Belarus and China exchange exhibitions, sign agreements, and arrange Belarusian and Chinese culture days.

These events and many other ones help the deep bilateral cultural relations evolve. And culture unites different countries and nationalities, people of different dispositions and temperaments. A Belarusian-Chinese agreement was signed as China President Xi Jinping visited Minsk in May 2015.
