Our countries share a long-standing friendship,” Bounleua Phandanouvong said.

This is his third visit to Belarus. He has visited Minsk twice, and this time he came to Brest. “Good infrastructure, a clean city. When I first arrived, I thought it was young. Later I learned that Brest has a long history and is a heroic city. We were given a tour of the Brest Fortress. It made a strong impression on me. The guide explained everything very well; it was very interesting to hear the history. The people of Brest are very hospitable and generous. I will definitely find time to visit this city again,” the Lao representative shared.
