Deputy Head of the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Igor Skarta said that Belarus is ready to take part in the reconstruction of Ukraine after the resolution of the conflict.
In an interview with the Berliner Zeitung, the diplomat emphasized:
"When peace comes to Ukraine, we will take part in the reconstruction and normalization of life in this country, because Ukraine is our closest market and a partner closely related to us."
He added that Belarus strives for multi-vector diplomacy, while maintaining ties with both the East and the West. Russia and China remain Minsk's main partners, but the country is also looking at American initiatives and hopes to normalize relations with the European Union, expecting reasonable proposals from it.
