Lukashenko: Belarus aims at strategic partnership with Vietnam

Belarus aims at strategic partnership with Vietnam – as stated by President Aleksandr Lukashenko during his today’s talks with Secretary General of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam To Lam in a narrow format

The Head of State warmly welcomed the guest and stressed, “Our relations will continue to improve, and the agreements that we have approved with Vietnam will be strictly implemented. We are committed to strategic partnership with you.”

The President recalled that the Belarusian side had proposed a plan for co-operation in the near future (2025-2027) and expressed confidence that the two countries would achieve the outlined goals. At the same time, there are issues on the bilateral agenda that need to be resolved promptly.

“I think we will discuss these issues with you, and if we reach a joint solution, we will implement them in the near future – whether it's mutual payments, aviation services and everything related to that. These are the issues without which the economy cannot function and people cannot live," the Belarusian leader stressed.

Belarus is interested in increasing mutual trade, especially since it already has experience in supplying goods. “We are ready to set up joint production facilities for the equipment that Vietnam is interested in," Aleksandr Lukashenko noted.

As recalled by the Head of State, the parties previously intensively co-operated in the field of the military-industrial complex. Belarus is ready to resume the supply of the related products if its partners show interest.

“In short, we are ready to discuss the whole range of these and other issues that will arise. We are ready not only to discuss, but also to make appropriate decisions," Aleksandr Lukashenko stated.
