During the conversation, Pompeo announced the United States' commitment to the sovereignty and independence of Belarus.

Lukashenka, in turn, spoke about the beginning of a national dialogue in the republic and spoke in favor of a peaceful solution to all emerging conflicts, "including on the external circuit."

The Belarusian president also called Russia the republic's main ally.

At the same time, he noted that Russia does not interfere in the internal affairs of Belarus, but "the countries are ready to jointly respond to emerging external threats."

“In particular, in accordance with the agreement within the framework of the CSTO ... in the event of external aggression from Poland, Lithuania or other countries, Belarus and Russia will be forced to react,” the press service quoted Lukashenka as saying.

In response, Pompeo assured that such a threat "neither from NATO, nor from Poland and Lithuania" does not exist.

Lukashenka also noted that Minsk is "closely watching" the US election campaign.

He wished the incumbent American leader Donald Trump every success.
