Belarus and Iran can be very useful to each other if they join efforts to resist external pressure and develop the economy, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Monday at talks with his Iranian counterpart Ebrahim Raisi in Tehran.
"Every time I watch with great respect how stubbornly your people resist external pressure and attempts to impose someone else's will. And how, in spite of everything, you develop modern technology and nuclear power. And as we've agreed today with the president of Iran, we can be very useful to each other if we really join forces," BelTA agency quoted Lukashenko as saying, TASS reports.
The Belarusian leader thanked his Iranian counterpart for hospitality. "It is a pleasure for me to visit Tehran again, the capital of the modern Iran, which became the cradle of one of the most advanced civilizations in commercial and cultural terms, through the territory of which trade routes ran long before America was discovered," he said.
