MINSK, 7 April (BelTA) – The National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and the Institute of Optics and Electronics of China plan to open a joint laboratory within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. This was discussed at a meeting between First Deputy Chairman of the NASB Presidium Vitaly Zalevsky and Professor Zhu Xiao of the Institute of Optics and Electronics at Huazhong University of Science and Technology on 6 April, the NASB press service told BelTA.
The parties discussed prospects for bilateral scientific and technical cooperation, including in combined material-processing technologies, as well as opportunities for synergy between laser technologies and magnetic-pulse processing, which open new horizons for the creation of high-tech products. They also spoke about joint participation in the competition for flagship Belarus-China scientific and technical projects and in a major optics and electronics exhibition to be held in Wuhan in May 2026.
All cooperation agreements between Huazhong University of Science and Technology and the NASB Physical-Technical Institute were formalized in a protocol signed following the meeting by Zhu Xiao and Igor Smyaglikov, Deputy Director for Research of the Physical-Technical Institute.

OK, but why are press releases relevant here? I think you should post actual scientific results instead of this.
That’s fair, I just like posting in a wide variety of communities. I have enough to post in it never would have recurred. Maybe I could come back later with a review of promising collaborative developments over the past few years.
Joint laboratories for optics and electronics under the Belt and Road Initiative could accelerate breakthrough research that neither country might achieve alone. Cross-border scientific collaboration has historically driven some of the most significant advances in physics and engineering. This partnership positions Belarus theoretical strengths alongside Chinese scale effectively.
Fire it up!
