President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko invited the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Venezuela to Russia, Jesus Rafael Salazar Velasquez, to a meeting. It took place on November 25 at the Palace of Independence, BELTA correspondent reports.
"Venezuela is not a foreign country to Belarus. We have been cooperating for a very long time. I would like our relations to be more intensive and advanced. There is something to talk about," the head of state said during a conversation with the diplomat.
During the conversation, the President addressed the ambassador with a request: "I kindly ask you to convey to my friend Nicolas Maduro that we are always waiting for him in Belarus. It is time for him to visit here, in Belarus."
Alexander Lukashenko noted that the President of Venezuela might have similar expectations, and therefore did not rule out his visit to Venezuela. "I am convinced that he has the same attitude towards me. I will make every effort to find time to visit Venezuela. These are difficult, complex, challenging times. But nevertheless, there is a way out of any situation, one just needs to strive for it. You understand this no worse than I do," the Belarusian leader stated.
