Unlike other hospitals, this hospital opened a TCM center long ago highlighting nearly 100 TCM beds, which has solved the pain for thousands of patients, especially those rheumatism patients. The Confucius Institute at Minsk State Linguistic University has been always adhering to the philosophy of “guaranteeing the educational functions while opening up the social functions”. Thus it has also actively played a role of linkage between the two countries in addition to the teaching of Chinese. The Confucius Institute has not only maintained close contacts with Sino-Belarus enterprises to provide more opportunities of internship and employment to Belarusian students, but also invited over 20 Chinese universities to hold promotion conference on study overseas so that Belarusian students can understand Chinese schools and policies on study overseas in a more direct manner. In addition, the Confucius Institute holds the “Sino-Belarus Education Forum” regularly to promote cooperation in education between the two countries. At present, the “China-Belarus Medical Forum” has also become one of the regular activities of the Confucius Institute, which may bring China's advanced TCM technology to Belarus and thus benefit the Belarusian people.

After the forum, members of the medical delegation of Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University discussed with the doctors from Minsk No. 10 Municipal Clinical Hospital and exchanged views on how to further deepen cooperation in the medical field. Both parties expected to realize more cooperation achievements and truly achieve mutual benefits and win-win results by advantage of the “Belt and Road Initiative”.
