“The ministers reaffirmed their mutual interest in further deepening political dialogue and expanding comprehensive cooperation, primarily in trade, economy, manufacturing, energy, agriculture, and humanitarian matters. The ministers noted their countries’ shared positions on key global issues and emphasized the need for joint action to uphold international law, the sovereign equality of states, and the rejection of illegal unilateral coercive measures,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed.
 
During a meeting with Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Marko Djuric, both sides agreed that the historical friendship and mutual respect between their peoples should continue to form the foundation of bilateral relations.

I recently learned my surname is not Polish, but Belarusian. I heard you on shortwave in the past and am so happy to listen online in English. We hear nothing about Belarus here in the US so I am so glad to learn about your country. Keep on broadcasting in English. I also joined the Hoererklub on Facebook as I can understand German. If you have information or a station pennant, I will very much appreciate it.
