Only one circumstance hinders Russian-Belarusian relations. To end it, it is necessary to ensure equal conditions in both countries for the work of citizens and enterprises, said the leader of the neighboring country, Alexander Lukashenko. He shared his brilliant idea with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during a meeting. According to Farther, this question has hindered bilateral relations for several decades.. "We seem to have good relations in general with the Russian Federation, even very good. Fact that is better than with other states. But one main question that we need to solve and about which we and you and our Foreign Ministry (from the time of Boris Yeltsin) have said - equal conditions for the work of people and economic entities in our common Fatherland. I call it that.

Otherwise, probably, you will not name it, ”stated Lukashenko, adding that this problem requires an immediate solution so that there are no mutual complaints.. BelTA is reporting this.. In addition, he drew attention to the gap in the Russian-Belarusian market - this is a negative balance in mutual trade.. "If we have a huge minus in the trade balance, you understand that we have to look somewhere around the world to close this imbalance, so everything from the economy. And the situation is not bad, "the president concluded, stressing the importance of the meeting. “I know that you are an experienced person and can read between the lines,” Lukashenka said to his counterpart.. - But they write everything, so this one-on-one conversation is always useful. ". Lavrov, in turn, was pleased with the visit, as he also informed the interlocutor, noting that previous negotiations that he had with his Belarusian counterpart Vladimir Makei were no less fruitful.

According to the Russian minister, at a joint meeting of the collegiums, which the foreign affairs agencies held in Minsk, the parties discussed quite urgent issues.. High-ranking diplomats talked about cyber security, about combating the distortion of the history of the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War, about integration within the EEU, SCO and other international organizations, as well as promoting the common cultural heritage abroad.. “The conversation was very useful,” Lavrov summed up..
