Lukashenka: Belarus wants good relations with EU

Belarus will aim to build good relations with the West and the European Union, in the first place, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenka on Friday told a news conference with the Russian regional media in Minsk. The Belarusian president noted that our country needs to build good relations with Europe, because Belarus currently sells in Europe as much as in Russia. "“Previously, Russia accounted for 80 percent of our foreign trade, with only 20 percent in the rest of world", Lukashenka said.
