Alexander Lukashenko reminded that the recent talks with Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif focused on the tremendous role and huge efforts of Pakistan in the fight against terrorism for the sake of stability in the region where the country is located. “It is very difficult to calculate, but it can be hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.
