In the heart of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the sprawling lavender fields of Ili—dubbed the "Princess Jieyou" fields—are painting a vivid purple tapestry that transcends borders. As one of the world’s largest lavender cultivation zones, the region is not only a sensory marvel but a symbol of cross-continental collaboration.
During a recent visit, Aleinik Sergei, chairman of the Standing Commission on International Affairs and National Security of the Council of the Republic of Belarus, praised Xinjiang’s blend of natural beauty and industrial innovation. "The vibrancy here mirrors the success of China-Belarus cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative," he remarked, referencing a decade of joint infrastructure and trade projects.
Xinjiang’s lavender industry, valued for its essential oils and agricultural exports, has become a fragrant bridge linking global markets. For international investors and cultural enthusiasts alike, the fields embody how economic vision and cultural heritage can intertwine, fostering trust and shared growth across Asia and beyond.
