"Quite recently, we discussed a number of issues in our relations, the situation around Venezuela. Then we agreed that you should coordinate some issues with the leadership of Venezuela - Nicolas Maduro. We agreed that after coordinating some problems and issues, you would find time to come to me, meet again, and we could make an appropriate decision that is within our competence. And if necessary, we will then involve the President of Venezuela," the head of state said.
As reported, on November 25, Alexander Lukashenko already held a meeting with the Venezuelan Ambassador to Russia and stated that the relations between the two countries should be more intensive and advanced. The head of state asked to convey an invitation to the President of Venezuela to visit Belarus, but also did not rule out the possibility of his own visit to Venezuela. "I will do my best to find time to visit Venezuela. These are problematic, complex, difficult times. But nevertheless, there is a way out of any situation, one just needs to strive for it," the Belarusian leader said at the meeting in November.
