“I will not say (I will sincerely answer) that the Americans are such great friends. But the period of this cold, when we looked at each other through some embrasure, reinforced concrete thick wall, is over, ”Belta quotes Lukashenko.
He noted that Belarus is establishing relations with the “greatest empire”.
According to Lukashenko, Russia was “bothered” by Pompeo’s visit to Minsk.
“And what have we done more with America than Russia? You look: they are trying to kiss them passionately. It doesn’t work out, really. Are we worried? We rejoice for them when they hug and kiss. Then they raised a whole scandal: oh, the Secretary of State has arrived! ”Lukashenko said.
He also noted that Belarus as a sovereign and independent country determines what foreign policy to pursue.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at a meeting with the Belarusian leader called the agreement on the exchange of ambassadors a confirmation of the desire to normalize relations between the countries.
