Lukashenko: Belarus remains committed to developing ties with Japan

Belarus has always been interested in developing constructive and mutually beneficial relations with Japan, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during a ceremony to receive the credentials from the foreign ambassadors, among whom was Japan’s newly appointed diplomat Kazuhiro Kuno, BelTA has learned.

“Belarus has always sought constructive, mutually beneficial relations with Japan. And on that front, everything depends entirely on Japan. Growing trust between our nations has traditionally been supported by humanitarian projects,” the president stated.

He recalled that after the Fukushima accident, the Belarusian side sent humanitarian aid, and children from Japan came to Belarus for rehabilitation. More than 400 Japanese experts also visited Belarus to study the country's experience in overcoming the Chernobyl impact.
