“Unfortunately, the visit did not take place, because the president of Belarus was also outside the country,” Khan quoted Interfax as saying.

He noted that "there were no serious reasons for canceling the visit, it was simply physically impossible to complete it."

“In any case, this will not affect the friendly relations between Belarus and the European Union, and I hope that they will even have positive dynamics in the near future,” Khan said.

Earlier, the representative of the EU foreign service explained the cancellation of the visit to Belarus of the head of the EU diplomacy Federica Mogherini.
