MINSK, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- The fourth edition of the Chinese Goods and Services Exhibition kicked off in Belarus on Wednesday, with over 120 Chinese companies participating.

The exhibition, spanning 6,500 square meters, is being held at the Great Stone Industrial Park from Sept. 3-5, showcasing products and services in machinery, medicine, and logistics.

Under the strategic guidance of both nations' leaders, the China-Belarus all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership remains robust, with trade and economic ties showing strong growth, said Wang Ruijuan, counselor for trade and economic affairs at the Chinese Embassy in Belarus.
