Lukashenko: Belarusian and Russian investigative bodies will act together

Belarusian and Russian agencies, including investigative bodies, will act together, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Bastrykin, BelTA learned.
“Training of specialists, as always, exchange of experience, support on the international arena and support of our initiatives, and joint actions. You can count on us always. We will act together, no matter what they say, no matter how hard they try to pull us apart. Although it is less about the heads of the Investigative Committees and the departments in general. It is more about  politicians. Nevertheless, everything is politics today. Our agencies cannot be outside politics either. You get in the thick of politics sometimes. You come under fire. We a little less. It seems things are calmer now. But it's a relative calm. Therefore, you can be absolutely sure that you have reliable friends here,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
 
The head of state warmly greeted Alexander Bastrykin. “It would be a shame not to meet while you are in Belarus on a visit. You know my high regard for you. Our views on life are absolutely identical, I would say. There are practically no differences. I hear a lot about you, I see you on TV,” he said. Aleksandr Lukashenko added that in his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin the name of Alexander Bastrykin pops up when it comes to relevant issues.

“In general, you stay on our radar,” the head of state noted.

“In the positive context, I hope,” Alexander Bastrykin replied.
