Main statements and results of the Belarusian leader's visit to Pakistan

Alexander Lukashenko flew to Astana from Pakistan, where he was on a three-day official visit. The most important message following all negotiations with the country's top leadership: There are no closed topics.

Our President flew to Pakistan at a difficult time.

The country was engulfed in protests. The opposition staged scuffles with security forces, blocked roads...

It's not very pleasant to look at these shots. And at the same time, a response to those who were so impressed by Alexander Lukashenko's words that if there is a hint of 2020 in Belarus, the Internet will be turned off totally. In Pakistan, they also turned it off these days. And everything is according to the manual there. At the beginning of the year, elections were held in the country with demands for the alleged justice. The unrest has not subsided yet. In fact, it is a struggle for resources and influence in the region.

Pakistan is the fifth country in the world in terms of population. 240 million people. It is rich in natural resources, has large deposits of gold, copper, coal. Recently, new major reserves of oil and gas have been discovered. There are plenty of people willing to covet them. Therefore, outside the officialdom, from Belarusians who have already gone through a similar story, here is some friendly advice.

Lukashenko called on Pakistanis to unite

"The world is very turbulent, changes every day. And in this difficult time, only those countries will survive that are united and whose people will worry about the future of their country. The world is being redivided. Strong, rich countries are locked in this iron clash. Today, there are more than 50 wars and conflicts in the world. There is a fierce struggle for leadership today, tomorrow and in the future. Your country, as a giant country, the fifth most populous in the world, is naturally involved in this whirlpool. Pakistan's position in the international arena is very familiar. You know what Pakistan wants. But what you want does not correspond to the desires of large countries that are fighting for leadership today," the head of state noted.

The Belarusians came in peace: to trade, create enterprises, think about prospects. In a word, to raise the economy on mutually beneficial terms. And people who understand this appreciate it.

Diplomatic relations between Belarus and Pakistan are 30 years old

Relations between Belarus and Pakistan are 30 years old. The Belarusian president was received during this official visit as his closest friend including in the family residence of the current prime minister. This speaks of a special attitude and trust. As is known, only true friends are invited "home". The atmosphere was very warm - literally in the family circle. The closest relatives of the top leadership of Pakistan - the Sharif family - were present. Among them was the elder brother of the current prime minister of the country, the former prime minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif - and his daughter, the chief minister of the Pakistani province of Punjab.

The communication continued during an informal lunch, where it was also possible to discuss current issues of bilateral cooperation. Today, Alexander Lukashenko also had a meeting with the Chief of Staff of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Pakistan. General Munir, Commander of the Army of Pakistan.

Lukashenko and Sharif held talks in Islamabad

"We are not a gigantic country and have never suffered and do not suffer from gigantomania. But from the Soviet Union, which was a high-tech country, we inherited good technologies that we have recently developed. And I am sure that the technologies that we have are very necessary for Pakistan," Alexander Lukashenko emphasized.

The politicians discussed all current issues both in a one-on-one format and with the participation of delegations from both countries.

Official Minsk has a lot to offer Islamabad. Pakistan, as an agricultural country, is interested in purchasing our agricultural machinery and equipment. Almost half of the population is employed in the agro-industrial complex. The plans also include organizing assembly plants for agricultural and cargo machinery.
