MINSK, 3 September (BelTA) – While in Beijing, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko held new bilateral meetings with foreign leaders who attended the celebrations on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the War against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, BelTA has learned.

The Telegram channel Pul Pervogo published photos of the Belarusian leader’s informal meetings with the presidents of Zimbabwe and Congo, Emmerson Mnangagwa and Denis Sassou Nguesso, captioning them, “A meeting of good friends and partners.”

The post elaborated that the leaders “talked for a long time” about future joint plans. These included the in-depth modernization of Zimbabwe’s manufacturing sector and agriculture and a new Belarusian-led program slated for implementation in the country.

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa thanked Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko for his role in maintaining regional food security and extended another invitation to visit Zimbabwe.

The engagements continued as the Belarusian leader also held talks with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.

The series of bilateral meetings continued with a discussion between Aleksandr Lukashenko and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto who recently visited Belarus. The two leaders reviewed issues of bilateral cooperation, notably in the field of education, specifically regarding Indonesian citizens studying in Belarus.

Prabowo Subianto extended an invitation for Aleksandr Lukashenko to visit Indonesia.

This comes after Aleksandr Lukashenko’s earlier conversation with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Beijing, who invited the Belarusian president to visit North Korea at any convenient time.
