MINSK, 12 May (BelTA) – I have invited Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko to visit Khabarovsk Territory, Khabarovsk Territory Governor Mikhail Degtyaryov told the media after his meeting with the Belarusian leader in Minsk on 12 May, BelTA has learned.
“I have invited Aleksandr Grigoryevich [Lukashenko] to Khabarovsk Territory, to the banks of the Amur, Sea of Okhotsk and Sea of Japan. We have 3,300km of coastline, there is a lot to see and build, there is a lot to visit,” Mikhail Degtyaryov said. In his words, a KHL match between Dinamo Minsk and Amur can be a good reason to visit the region.
BelTA has reported earlier that Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashneko, during his viist to Primorye Territory, said that he dreamed about visiting various places in the Far East of Russia.
“My dream was to visit Sakhalin when Oleg Nikolayevich [Kozhemyako, governor of Primorye Territory, who was also previously in charge of the Sakhalin and Amur Oblasts of Russia] was in charge of the territory. We will probably visit it one day,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said addressing the head of the region.
The Belarusian leader also noted that he would be interested in visiting Kamchatka, Magadan, Chukotka and Lake Baikal in Russia. “It is of great interest for me,” he said.
“There would be also great to visit Sakhalin and Kamchatka,” Aleksandr Lukashenko continued. He also said that he had long wanted to visit the Altai Territory.
The Belarusian leader stressed that he had traveled around the world during his presidency and he can say that Russia is a unique place. “There is no better resort than Sochi for skiing,” he said. He drew special attention to the environment, the cleanest air in places like the Primorye Territory. “A beautiful nature and fresh air is here. Europe is not a patch on these places. Europe has polluted its territory,” he said.
