“Austria, Latvia and other countries are a window after all that fence which was built around us. And what's more, some people imposed sanctions. Therefore, we have to not only re-create, but at a new level, in new times, cut through these windows and build roads, ”BelTA quotes Lukashenko.
According to him, the business of the head of state since the time of Peter I is to “cut through the window” in the necessary directions.
“If the president came to China, India, the Middle East, Russia, now Austria, then to Latvia, we agreed, this means the president must pave the way there. And those who should sell their products, who should buy there, and so on should follow. This is my task, ”Lukashenko specified.
Lukashenko will pay a visit to Austria on November 12. This will be his first trip to the European Union in a long time.
