MINSK, 26 October (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko invited Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to travel to Belarus to discuss serious matters as he met with Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó in Minsk on 26 October, BelTA has learned.

"As for our trade and economic relations, unfortunately, they have deteriorated. Not through our fault. You know the reasons. If the Hungarians and the Hungarian leadership have any wishes to work in Belarus, we will be happy to host your enterprises and companies and will create the most favorable conditions for work," the head of state said.

Aleksandr Lukashenko conveyed his best wishes to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. "It's difficult, almost impossible, for us to travel there now. But he can come over any time. We will talk about serious matters. I think it will be useful," the president added.

The head of state also thanked the Hungarian side for cooperation in humanitarian matters. "Our football players, athletes have the opportunity to take apart in competitions in Hungary, to play their home matches. As you can see, we find a way out. Putting pressure on athletes, especially Paralympians and the disabled is very wrong. It's good that Hungary understands this," Aleksandr Lukashenko said. "You know our capabilities. If we can be useful to Hungary, we are ready to act in this direction. We are very grateful to you. We are grateful people. I think the time will come when we will be able to respond in kind to you for your good policy towards Belarus."
