According to the president, contacts with Kalmykia are gaining momentum. An additional impetus to this was given by the exchange of visits in September 2022, by meetings and negotiations. “Yet, I am sure that a real economic breakthrough is still ahead,” the Belarusian leader said.
“We already have a foundation in our relations. However, as Aleksandr Grigoriyevich [Lukashenko] stressed, our interaction symbolizes a new round in the development of relations, and we need to build up on this potential,” the head of the region said.
The principled position of the Belarusian leadership is a true example for many Russians, the head of Russia's Republic of Kalmykia Batu Khasikov said at a meeting with Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko in Minsk on 20 March.
