Abstract

The article explores the modes of cooperation in the triangle of Belarus – the Russian Far East – China. Considering Belarus, the author underlines its strategy aimed at the methodical strengthening of human potential and rapid technological development. Outlined is the project of the Chinese-Belorussian “The Great Stone” industrial park. Characterizing the Russian Trans-Eurazian “Razvitie” project, the article focuses on its geopolitical and political aspects. As far as domestic politics is concerned, the project promises to foster the development of the Far-Eastern regions of Russia and, consequently, the harmonization of relations not only with the neighboring China but with the federal authorities as well.
