"Quite recently, we discussed a number of problems in our relations with you, about the situation around Venezuela. Then we agreed that you should coordinate some issues with the leadership of Venezuela - Nicolas Maduro. We agreed that after coordinating some problems, issues, you would find time to come to me, meet again, and so that we could make an appropriate decision that is within our competence. And if necessary, we will then involve the President of Venezuela," said the head of state.
As reported, on November 25, Alexander Lukashenko already held a meeting with the Venezuelan Ambassador to Russia and stated that relations between the two countries should be more intensive and advanced. The head of state asked to convey to the President of Venezuela an invitation to visit Belarus, but also did not rule out the possibility of his own visit to Venezuela. "I will do my best to find time to visit Venezuela. These are difficult, challenging, tough times. But nevertheless, there is a way out of any situation, one just needs to strive for it," the Belarusian leader said at the meeting in November.
