TASHKENT, 13 September (BelTA) – Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko invited his Uzbekistan counterpart Shavkat Mirziyoyev to build an Uzbek-style embassy near the Palace of Independence in Minsk during the talks of the two leaders in Tashkent on 13 September, BelTA has learned.

“You have opened an embassy in Belarus. This proves that we are close friends. We will select a good site opposite the Palace of Independence for you to build a beautiful embassy in the style of Uzbekistan architecture,” said Alexander Lukashenko.

Shavkat Mirziyoyev agreed to consider the proposal. “It was my long-standing dream to open an embassy in Belarus. If we talk about friendly relations, we should open an embassy and work as it is expected,” he said.

"If you need it, you will have your corner in the center of Europe, from where you will be able to develop cooperation with the entire European region,” the Belarusian head of state added.
