According to the Belarusian leader, this area has acquired special importance in the Belarusian foreign policy. “Latin America is a rapidly developing country that has been consistently strengthening its positions as one of the world’s economic centers,” the President noted.

Receiving credentials from the Ambassador of Argentina to Belarus with concurrent accreditation, Alexander Lukashenko stressed long-standing ties and experience of successful cooperation with the country within international organizations. Interstate contacts have recently intensified as well.

Addressing the Ambassador of Brazil to Belarus, the President underlined that this country can become Belarus’ main trade and economic partner on the South-American continent. Alexander Lukashenko noted that Brazil has powerful industry and well-developed agriculture. “We expect that the new Ambassador of Brazil will help intensify economic, political and cultural ties between our countries,” the Belarusian leader said.

Receiving credentials from the Ambassador of Uruguay with concurrent accreditation, Alexander Lukashenko said he believes that the cooperation between Belarus and Uruguay requires more attention from the authorities of the two countries. According to the President, the mutual trade between Belarus and Uruguay is neither big nor stable. “However, your market is interesting for the Belarusian producers of potash fertilizers and agricultural equipment. In turn, Uruguay could find its place on the Belarusian market,” the head of state said.
