“Voices are already being heard about the need to find channels of communication with Belarus on the part of our western partners,” TASS quoted him as saying.
According to him, "contrary to the forecasts and wishes of enemies" Belarus "has withstood and is developing."
“In the foreign economic sphere, despite the most severe pressure and sanctions, the export of Belarusian products increased significantly - the foreign trade surplus amounted to more than $ 3 billion,” said Makei.
Earlier, he said that the Belarusian side would significantly reduce the number of diplomats in European countries and increase it in the CIS countries and China.
