            Sino-Belarus Industrial Park, jointly funded by China and the Republic of Belarus, is a large-scaled park located in Minsk (capital of Belarus) and quite near international airport. The total planning area of the industrial park is 95.1 km2, whose land can be validly used for 99 years and which is mainly for the development of fine chemical engineering, electronic information, biological medicine, high-end manufacturing, logistics and warehousing. By gradually completing the completing the functions (for living, R&D, medical treatment and travel), it tries to make the park to be a five-in-one international new city which is outstanding in ecology, living, industrial development and innovation.
