MINSK, 24 August (BelTA) – Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko praised the contribution of Maira Mora to the improvement of relations between Belarus and the European Union. The head of state made the statement at the meeting with Maira Mora on 24 August in connection with the expiry of her diplomatic mission in Belarus, BelTA has learned.

“You have done a lot to promote dialogue with the big Europe, help us understand each other better and improve our relations,” the Belarusian President said.

The head of state expressed confidence that although Maira Mora leaves Belarus she will remain a sincere friend of the country. He said that Maira Mora would be welcome in Belarus any time. The President said she will always be a dear guest in Belarus.

Praising the contribution of the head of the EU Delegation to the development of relations between Belarus and the EU, Alexander Lukashenko said that everything she has done was sincere. “We know that you have done a lot of things sincerely,” Alexander Lukashenko noted. He once again thanked Maira Mora for her sincere position and wished her success in her new undertakings. “You will have reliable friends in Belarus,” the head of state said.

The President also said that he does not meet with all ambassadors whose diplomatic missions in Belarus expire. And this meeting speaks for itself. “Our country honors the person who has been committed to the improvement of our relations rather than the worsening of them as it happens sometimes,” the head of state said.

In his opinion, Maira Mora’s work is “an example to follow for every ambassador in the host country”. “An ambassador should work to mend things, to unite rather than tear them apart and separate,” Alexander Lukashenko added.
