“We follow the principle that no knowledge is ever wasted; in fact, there is no such thing as knowledge that doesn’t matter. Every piece of knowledge is valuable, and all methods are necessary to acquire it,” Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Belarus to the Republic of India Mikhail Kasko stated during the ceremony.
The diplomat highlighted that books have been, are, and will continue to be a source of knowledge for centuries. Regarding the interest in India, he emphasised that each year, students will come to universities eager to study the country’s history in greater depth, write scientific papers, and read not only political texts but also fiction in the original languages.
The ceremony also underscored Belarus’ growing interest in Asian countries. Exploring their rich cultural heritage not only broadens perspectives but also helps identify new opportunities for international co-operation.
