17 ноября 2019

The attention of both Belarusian and foreign media, as well as of the expert community was drawn to the visit of Alexander Lukashenko to Austria. Negotiations resulted in concrete results and agreements among both the political elite and business community of the two countries.

The tragic pages of the Second World War have brought our countries together and taught us to appreciate the most important thing - peace and security.

The bilateral relations between Minsk and Vienna have been marked by a significant increase in the last few years. About 500 Austrian companies cooperate with Belarusian enterprises.

Alexander van der Bellen, Federal President of the Republic of Austria: "We talked about Eastern Ukraine, Belarus remains an important negotiating platform for the resolution of the conflict. Minsk agreements are known all over the world, and Belarus has made its contribution to the resolution of the conflict, Austria supports its efforts within the OSCE. We appreciate your interest in deepening our bilateral relations".

The Belarusian President spoke clearly and openly on all the topics and issues from the development of bilateral relations to the capital punishment in Belarus.

The potential of the two countries is enormous, as it was demonstrated by the business forum. And we do not take full advantage of it.
