relations of the two friendly countries. According to the assessment of
the President of Belarus, the warm relations between the leaders of the
two states greatly contribute to the friendship between Armenia and
Belarus. President Lukashenko underlined that all preconditions exist
for intensifying the bilateral relations.

moving forward in those directions.
