I am convinced that this is not the limit,” emphasized Sergei Lukashevich.
He expressed confidence that the Republic of India managed to achieve such results thanks to the hard work of its people and the smart policy of its government.

The past year saw many events that played a significant role in Belarus-India cooperation. In 2024 the Republic of Belarus was granted membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and a partner status in BRICS. This became possible thanks to the active support of India,” the diplomat said.
