I thank you once again for always providing us with appropriate support," the President said.

In turn, Sergei Lavrov emphasized that the foreign ministries are trying to fulfill the strategic tasks set by the presidents of Belarus and Russia in the sphere of foreign policy as effectively as possible. "We should build our foreign policy activities in such a way as to provide diplomatic support for integration processes," he said. - Yesterday we signed a special statement to this effect, which will direct us to always keep in mind not only the interests of Belarus and Russia separately, but also the interests of the Union State when strengthening coordination," the Russian Foreign Minister emphasized.
