Welcoming Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh and the representative Mongolian delegation, the Head of State recalled that two years ago he had paid a visit to Ulaanbaatar – the first one at the highest level in the history of bilateral relations.

“That visit left me with the most positive impressions. The communication in the hospitable Mongolian capital helped formulate the joint interests of the parties and outline a plan for achieving priority goals. Today we will exchange instruments of ratification of the Treaty on Friendly Relations and Co-operation, which was signed two years ago. We share a mutual desire to imbue our friendly relations with practical content and to bring our peoples even closer together. Moreover, we will celebrate the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations in 2027. Therefore, I am confident that the visit of the Mongolian delegation headed by you, dear friend, will be as productive as possible,” the Belarusian leader said.

Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that Minsk and Ulaanbaatar have a similar geopolitical position: both countries are located between the world’s major players. “It is our destiny to strive to be strong ourselves and to help our neighbours find common ground, especially during crisis periods. You have it easier in this regard now: China and Russia are co-operating exemplarily. It is more difficult for us: as has happened more than once in the history of Belarus, we find ourselves at the epicentre of the confrontation between the West and the East. Therefore, we understand each other very well. Hence the alignment of Belarus’ and Mongolia’s views on many international issues and the attention you are paying to our initiative on security in Eurasia,” he added.
