Lukashenko reveals details of his packed schedule during visit to Russia

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko spoke about the serious joint work carried out with President of Russia Vladimir Putin in recent days. He stated this at a meeting of the Supreme State Council in St. Petersburg, a BELTA correspondent reports.

"We have indeed worked very seriously these two days. You can say directly: from the South Pole to the North. We discussed the problems of Antarctica as well - more comfortable conditions for Russians to work there are being created, a wintering complex has been established. But the most important thing is that no one is dividing anything there. Belarusians are working together with Russians. Our station is nearby. And all kinds of assistance - both scientific and everyday - are provided to the Belarusian specialists stationed there," the head of state noted.

Alexander Lukashenko continued: "Then, Vladimir Vladimirovich and I moved from south to north. We analyzed the events taking place in the world. Take our aspiration - Russia and Belarus, the People's Republic of China... Russia is at the forefront of this, because it bears the greatest burden. And it suffers more than anyone."

The President emphasized that the advent of a multipolar world and the unwillingness of the current monopolist to give up its positions leads to conflicts in various parts of the world. "Both the Houthis, and the Middle East, and the South China Sea, and the problems with Taiwan - all this is because a multipolar world is coming. As the Russian Foreign Minister said, the monopolist does not want this. So they try to maintain a unipolar world by various methods. It has come to armed conflicts," Alexander Lukashenko stated.

According to him, the negotiations with Vladimir Putin also discussed issues of economic cooperation, including with countries in Asia and Africa: "We also discussed work on the Asian continent, especially in Africa, where we are invited. They are indeed waiting for us there. First of all, the Russian Federation with its enormous capabilities."

Alexander Lukashenko also noted the work on developing cargo transportation along the Northern Sea Route. "We would very much like this program to be implemented faster. It would be easier for us to work," he stressed.

"As you can see, a whole range of issues - from south to north," the President summarized.
