After all, an official visit is always a significant workload. Nevertheless, as you rightly said, there's always more than just something to talk about; there are issues that need to be discussed, to consult on certain matters before making a decision. Although these issues aren't decreasing, they're becoming more and more serious. Therefore, I'm ready to discuss the issues that are pressing for Russia and Belarus."
