“The Children of Asia Games in the Sakha Republic have left very good impressions. Our performance agenda has kicked off in Asia thanks to these sport events. I am confident that we will jointly strengthen our sport ties both in youth and adult sports, become regular participants in tournaments in Asia and will be happy to visit your beautiful land again. You are always welcome in Belarus, too,” Viktor Lukashenko said.
