Vladimir Makei, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus:

"We were in close contact with our European partners during the preparation of this summit. We expressed our wishes. Our wishes are to have closer, problem-free trade and economic relations in order to have easier access to the markets of the EU countries. We are interested in cooperation in the field of energy, we are also interested in using the EU's experience in improving the economic system of the state. And of course we also have a number of joint projects in the humanitarian sphere, connected with the development of local self-government, and with the improvement of civil society, and with the interaction of the state and society. "

The forum opens tomorrow. As a result of the summit, an updated declaration will be adopted, including 20 specific points of interaction between Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and the EU.
