MINSK, 15 December (BelTA) – Belarus wants to have good relations with the United States, but will not get ahead of itself, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said as he made new appointments in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and diplomatic missions on 15 December, BelTA has learned.
“We have stated our position – this is an empire, the world’s leading power, and we need to have good relations with them. But we should by no means get ahead of ourselves and make false promises. We have chosen a direction for the development of our relations, and we should follow this path,” Alexander Lukashenko noted.
The head of state said that his remarks on Donald Trump's election as US President have not gone unnoticed in that country.
“No one supported Trump more openly and sincerely, whole-heartedly and without any obsequious moves, than us. We took a certain position and kept to it. We held that position honestly and sincerely,” the Belarusian leader stressed.
