Lukashenko: Belarus and Azerbaijan are reliable strategic partners

Alexander Lukashenko emphasized that the talks were very productive. The sides confirmed the strategic character of bilateral relations and stressed that there are no problems and disagreements between Belarus and Azerbaijan. 

According to the Belarusian leader, the countries have harmonized approaches to joint activities in terms of the global economic stagnation and ambiguous forecasts of the international situation. In this context the presidents voiced their commitment to advancing Belarus-Azerbaijan relations. First of all, this pertains to the trade, economic, and investment cooperation. 

"In conclusion, I reiterate that there are no unsolved and unsolvable issues between Minsk and Baku. There are no closed topics either. We have been and still are reliable strategic partners,” Alexander Lukashenko said. "Our Azerbaijani friends, our brothers in Azerbaijan should know that Belarus will do everything it can for Azerbaijan. We will always remember the role which you have played in certain difficult times, will always remember that you have offered a shoulder to us. We are a grateful people and will always offer a shoulder to the people of Azerbaijan if necessary,” the Belarus President emphasized.
