Lukashenko explains why some countries will not be thrilled about Belarus-DPRK cooperation

PYONGYANG, 26 March (BelTA) – During the negotiations with Chairman of State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Kim Jong Un, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko explained why some countries will not be thrilled about cooperation between the two countries, BelTA has learned.

“I, like you, am a proponent of developing our relations without looking back at other countries, which, of course, will not be thrilled about our relations. Because they are competitors,” the Belarusian head of state said addressing Kim Jong Un.

“Our economies are complementary; we need each other, so let us move in this direction. We will draw conclusions from the past, from our mistakes. We will do everything to ensure that relations between the DPRK and Belarus are exemplary,” the Belarusian leader emphasized.
