Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that over the past centuries, Brazil has traveled a significant path of state-building and today has rightfully established itself as one of the shapers of the global agenda, at the forefront of efforts to ensure sustainable development, environmental preservation, and the transition to clean energy.

«Minsk and Brasília share long-standing fruitful cooperation in trade, economy, agriculture, science, technology, and culture,» the president said. «I am confident that the solid foundation of Belarusian-Brazilian relations will allow us to continue developing cooperation dynamically in areas of mutual interest, both bilaterally and on international platforms.»

Aleksandr Lukashenko wished Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva good health, inexhaustible energy, and success in the upcoming elections, and also peace, wellbeing, and prosperity to the people of Brazil.
