In response, President Lukashenko warmly welcomed President Pezeshkian and his delegation.

Lukashenko reaffirmed Belarus’s position as a reliable friend and partner for Iran.

“We are committed to expanding cooperation in the spirit of friendship,” he stated, assuring that any obstacles to agreements could be resolved amicably. The Belarusian leader also reminisced about his previous visit to Tehran, recalling his meeting with the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution. He requested that President Pezeshkian convey his best wishes to Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

In his remarks, Lukashenko expressed optimism regarding the potential for expanding Iran-Belarus cooperation, stating, “There are no barriers to expanding our collaboration.” He encouraged discussions on all areas of mutual interest to elevate their relations to the highest levels.
