MINSK,Belarus(LP Correspondent)- Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko has emphasized the importance of Belarus-Russia cooperation within the Union State, despite external pressure. Speaking at a high-level international conference on Eurasian security in Minsk, Lukashenko thanked Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov for attending and highlighted the significance of Russia’s position on many issues of European security. “As for trade, which is fundamental to our cooperation, you know that this year we will reach a record high level. Although Belarus is not a big country, it is among the top five trading partners of the huge, gigantic Russia. This speaks volumes,” Lukashenko noted. He also reassured that Belarus and Russia will maintain their sovereignty in economy and other areas, even in the areas where they fell behind hoping for cooperation with ‘advanced’ Europe and the collective West. “We have mapped out certain steps in microelectronics and other areas,” he added.

Belarus has been a reliable ally of Russia, with both countries working together to prevent Europe and the entire world from approaching the most dangerous line. “We are reliable allies of the Russian Federation. Have no doubts about it. There can be no games here, since we understand that a lot is at stake, including the survival of our states and our peoples,” Lukashenko said during his meeting with Lavrov.
