Belorussian President Alexander Lukashenko says his country is ready to restore trade and economic ties with Iran to the level that existed before Western sanctions were imposed against Tehran.
"Our trade has dropped recently due to external pressures…," Lukashenko said at a meeting with Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani in Minsk on Wednesday.
"We must urgently reach the highest level of our cooperation as we had before," he said, adding, "I would like us to resume our cooperation to the best of our potentials"
Pointing to Larijani’s important visit to Belarus, Lukashenko said Belarus has always seen Iran as a partner for cooperation.
"You understand how important your visit is at this moment and how significant role it plays in restoring the intensity of our relations," he said.
Larijani, for his part, stated that the two countries "must utilize their experience and create a new atmosphere for cooperation."
"I can reassure you that the Iranian government and parliament are determined to develop relations with Belarus in all spheres. Iran considers your country its reliable friend and partner," he added.
Heading a parliamentary delegation, Larijani arrived in Minsk on Wednesday to pay an official visit to the European country at the invitation of his Belorussian counterpart, Vladimir Andreichenko.
Iran and Belarus have developed good relations in recent years, particularly in the economic and trade sectors, and have signed a number of agreements to shore up bilateral cooperation in many areas, including in technical and engineering projects.
