“Firstly, this is the sovereign business of Belarus. Secondly, it seems to us that we don’t have to talk about close cooperation between Belarus and the USA at the moment, we are not talking about full-format official contacts, ”Peskov said.

He noted that "this is a visit at the working level."

In turn, Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei said that he has not yet commented on information about Bolton’s possible visit to the republic. It is reported by RIA Novosti.

Earlier, the publication Foreign Policy, citing sources, reported that Bolton will visit Belarus this week.

It was noted that starting from the twentieth century, Bolton will become the highest-ranking US government official to visit Minsk.
