SINGLE SOURCE

One web search result explicitly contains the quote: 'Xi Jinping stated that China has always viewed and developed the bilateral relations from a strategic and long-term perspective.' However, this specific result refers to a meeting with President Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, not Belarus. While the phrasing is nearly identical, it does not corroborate the claim that this was said to Lukashenko.
