“On 22 May, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the establishment of our diplomatic relations with the Philippines. We hope that the next several decades will be marked by more active cooperation in politics, trade and economy.

Carlos D. Sorreta assured Alexander Lukashenko that he will make every effort to promote the relations between the two countries.

The Belarusian head of state noted that the two countries should tap into their immense cooperation potential to boost relations. “We are grateful to the government of this country for its eagerness to support us in matters related to the WTO accession. I am confident that these positive intentions will bolster our bilateral trade,” the Belarusian leader said.
