Natalia Breus: Alexander Lukashenko met with Pope Francis. The talks were held in the hall of the Papal Library of the Apostolic Palace, meant for the distinguished guests. Communication tete-a-tete lasted about half an hour.

Alexander Lukashenko was largely impressed by the Pope's taking care of the poor and  fight against corruption. Love for one's neighbor, compassion, tolerance, spirituality should be the basis of good relations between people and nations, believe both parties.
