Year 2023 can be called African breakthrough for foreign policy of Belarus

An example of effective foreign policy and efficiency in making strategic decisions. This is how experts and analysts assess the results of a large international tour of the Belarusian leader.. They emphasize both the breadth of the topics voiced at the high level (from climate to geopolitics on the scale of the planet) and the geography of the countries, the cooperation with which received a new impetus: Emirates, China, Equatorial Guinea, Kenya

Thus, the main results of the visit to the UAE, in addition to Alexander Lukashenko's brilliant speech at the planetary climate summit, are the big politics and economy, as well as the reconciliation with partners in the Emirates.

Since the last meeting in February, a number of important projects have been launched. Their implementation is under the control of the leaders. And this high level of political dialog is confirmed by the intensity of contacts, as well as figures in the economy.

Meanwhile, the visit to the African continent has already been called an example of the mobility of Belarusian geopolitics, where it was possible not only to establish dialog at the highest level, but also to move to practice, for example, to develop a road map, which takes years for others. Equatorial Guinea and Belarus adopted more than 70 specific projects. And Kenya also has a full understanding of how to move forward.

Irina Novikova, Professor, Doctor of Economics:

Many opponents asked: well, what is Zimbabwe? This is a country that is almost at the bottom in terms of living standards. And indeed, the country had a lot of problems, poor harvests, famine started. And when Belarus started to cooperate with Zimbabwe, it first of all offered its agrotechnics and agricultural machinery - something in which we are strong. And in 2023, it was reported that for the first time Zimbabwe had provided itself with crops. For the first time the country did not have famine and did not need to buy food from abroad. This is due to the fact that Belarus has provided such assistance in agriculture.

The Doctor of Economics is sure that other states of the African continent have seen this example of cooperation and want to cooperate with Belarus.

Belarus is actually changing the world image of the African continent: it is ready to become a reliable bridge for Central Africa to Eurasia.
