“Belarus has always been interested in full-fledged partner relations with the United States. Even in the most difficult years for the Belarusian-American cooperation the two countries continued cooperation in ensuring global and regional security, preventing illegal transit of nuclear materials. Mutual efforts have recently helped the two countries improve the relations. There are grounds to talk about certain normalization of the bilateral relations,” Alexander Guryanov said.
