Lukashenko gathers for a trade discussion with international allies, primarily in the East

In a recent meeting, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and other high-ranking officials discussed the country's relations and tasks with a group of unspecified countries. The details of these discussions, however, remain vague.

Lukashenko has shown interest in cooperating with the U.S., stating that he would do so if there is agreement. This is not the first time such a sentiment has been expressed, as Belarus' Presidential Advisor, Nikolai Golovchenko, also expressed a similar sentiment in the past. Yet, it is unclear if the U.S. was among the countries discussed in the meeting.

The focus of the meeting was on Belarus' relations with these countries, with specific tasks being discussed. However, the details of these tasks were not provided. It is also worth noting that Golovchenko predicted that Belarus' cooperation with the West will resume in the future.

In more concrete terms, Belarus is deepening its bilateral cooperation with Iran, focusing on strategic partnership, including economic, cultural, and especially military-technical ties. Both countries are preparing to sign a treaty on strategic cooperation, aiming to counteract Western sanctions and elevate their collaboration to higher levels of trust and functional ties.

Regarding Belarus' cooperation with Syria and Afghanistan, no current detailed information was found. The available data highlights Belarus' pro-Russian alliances, particularly with Iran, and its role as a host and supporter of Russian military activities connected to the war in Ukraine. However, no explicit mention was found of active Belarus-Syria, Belarus-Afghanistan, or Belarus-Western (including U.S.) cooperation.

If more detailed or updated data on Belarus' relations with Syria, Afghanistan, or Western countries is needed, further targeted search would be required.
