Meetings are planned to take place at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Australia, the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the National Farmers’ Federation, the Minerals Council of Australia and the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development.

Diplomatic relations between Belarus and Australia were established on 9 January 1992. In August 2014 Belarus opened its embassy in Australia.
