\"\"Minsk\/ Belarus : Monitoring Desk – Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday (24 May 2024) that Russia is ready to continue negotiations with Ukraine, but only based on the agreements reached before.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n
“Well, let them (negotiations) return, but not from what one side wants, but based on those agreements reached during negotiations in Belarus and Turkiye and based on the current situation on the ground,” Putin told a press conference following talks with his Belarusian counterpart, Aleksandr Lukashenko, in Minsk.<\/h5>\n
The Istanbul agreements satisfied both the Ukrainian and the Russian sides in 2022, Putin said, adding that Russia supports the resumption of negotiations with Ukraine.<\/h5>\n
Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko made statements for the media and answered media questions following Russian-Belarusian talks. Here is the complete text what they were asked and what they answered in their own words according to kremlin.ru<\/span> :\"\"<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
President of\u00a0Belarus Alexander Lukashenko<\/b>: Ladies and\u00a0gentlemen, friends.<\/h5>\n
Mr Putin and\u00a0I\u00a0have just had productive talks in\u00a0restricted and\u00a0expanded formats. First of\u00a0all, I\u00a0am grateful to\u00a0the\u00a0President of\u00a0Russia for\u00a0making time for\u00a0an\u00a0official visit to\u00a0Belarus despite his very busy schedule. This is a\u00a0positive signal, and\u00a0not only a\u00a0signal.<\/h5>\n
This gave us an\u00a0opportunity to\u00a0have an\u00a0in-depth discussion of\u00a0Belarusia-Russia cooperation focusing specifically on\u00a0the\u00a0economy. You have probably noticed that we have been devoting a\u00a0lot of\u00a0time to\u00a0defence and\u00a0security issues lately. As\u00a0earlier agreed, we discussed defence and\u00a0security yesterday, and\u00a0today we mainly focused on\u00a0economic issues.<\/h5>\n
The\u00a0Belarusian-Russian relations have grown noticeably stronger in\u00a0recent time, with interaction and\u00a0trust between our countries reaching a\u00a0truly unprecedented level in\u00a0all spheres. We can safely say that both economies are growing rapidly, despite all kinds of\u00a0obstacles, the\u00a0ones that we are all aware of.<\/h5>\n
Belarus intends to\u00a0further develop its nuclear industry relying on\u00a0Russian technology. We have thoroughly discussed all aspects of\u00a0industrial cooperation, the\u00a0development of\u00a0mechanical engineering, machine-tool manufacture, and\u00a0microelectronics, primarily in\u00a0terms of\u00a0stepping up import substitution, which should make us independent from imports and\u00a0enhance our technological sovereignty. Ultimately, this will guarantee the\u00a0security of\u00a0our states.<\/h5>\n
We are confident that the\u00a0new Russian Government will maintain continuity of\u00a0policies regarding Belarus.<\/h5>\n
There are no irreconcilable differences between our countries. There are issues that require closer attention and\u00a0deeper study; those will certainly be addressed. We must honestly admit that we have resolved all issues\u00a0\u2013 there are no unresolved issues as\u00a0of\u00a0today. I\u00a0am sure that we will continue to\u00a0work in\u00a0the\u00a0same way in\u00a0the\u00a0future.<\/h5>\n
In\u00a0this context, we have discussed plans to\u00a0draft a\u00a0common industrial policy of\u00a0the\u00a0Union State. Essentially, what we need to\u00a0do is root out the\u00a0remaining protective measures and\u00a0restrictions once and\u00a0for\u00a0all. Otherwise, not only our peoples, but even the\u00a0two of\u00a0us will have trouble understanding each other.<\/h5>\n
Special focus was given on\u00a0the\u00a0development of\u00a0transport and\u00a0logistics. We are at\u00a0one thinking that an\u00a0additional major investment is necessary for\u00a0this high-potential sector.<\/h5>\n
In\u00a0recent years, we have taken a\u00a0new look at\u00a0regional cooperation and\u00a0seen its true potential. Without exaggeration, today Belarus and\u00a0its regions cooperate with almost all Russian regions, and\u00a0its exports are growing. I\u00a0have already said that on\u00a0June\u00a027 and\u00a028, the\u00a0XI Forum of\u00a0Regions of\u00a0Belarus and\u00a0Russia will be held in\u00a0Vitebsk, Polotsk, and\u00a0Novopolotsk.<\/h5>\n
We expect you, our Russian colleagues, to\u00a0attend this forum. I\u00a0know that there will be a\u00a0compelling agenda there.<\/h5>\n
Naturally, we will discuss the\u00a0current international agenda today: security issues in\u00a0the\u00a0world and\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0region in\u00a0the\u00a0context of\u00a0the\u00a0unprecedented level of\u00a0tensions that we always have to\u00a0deal with. We have absolutely identical approaches to\u00a0this. We will not deviate from our chosen path of\u00a0creating a\u00a0fair multipolar world order.<\/h5>\n
I\u00a0would like to\u00a0thank my\u00a0colleague, President of\u00a0Russia, for\u00a0detailed results of\u00a0his visit to\u00a0China. Belarus is also committed to\u00a0developing comprehensive partnership with Beijing but we also keep in\u00a0mind our own development. Every year, Belarusian-Chinese relations are going from strength to\u00a0strength. We hope that we will join the\u00a0SCO at\u00a0the\u00a0summit of\u00a0this influential international organisation in\u00a0Astana in\u00a0July.<\/h5>\n
I\u00a0would also like to\u00a0thank the\u00a0Russian people, the\u00a0Russian leadership and\u00a0the\u00a0Russian Foreign Ministry for\u00a0your great support for\u00a0us when we were joining the\u00a0SCO.<\/h5>\n
In\u00a0conclusion, I\u00a0would like to\u00a0note that I\u00a0thank my\u00a0Russian colleague for\u00a0the\u00a0warm brotherly conversation, for\u00a0our fruitful and\u00a0substantive meeting, and\u00a0for\u00a0finding mutual understanding on\u00a0all topics. We can count on\u00a0further comprehensive reciprocal support.<\/h5>\n
