(AGENPARL) – KREMLIN ven 09 giugno 2023

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr Lukashenko, welcome. I am glad
to see you.

I would like to say once again that our prime ministers have been working
hard and energetically for the past few days. I will be seeing them soon. If I may, I will bring your greetings to them.

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko: Do please, if it is appropriate.

Vladimir Putin: But of course, why not?

Alexander Lukashenko: Yes, considering that we are
discussing issues in their competence.

Vladimir Putin: Yes, of course. We will discuss all these
issues now.

There is a great deal to talk about in the areas of security and economic interaction. It is encouraging, but it is developing unexpectedly well
or at least at a fast pace, knock on wood. And the quality of our interaction
and the structure of our economic relations are changing as we want. First of all, the current focus is not only on the traditional spheres of cooperation
but also on the high-tech sectors. This is good news. I will not provide the figures for our growing trade now.

As for security, we will talk about it behind closed doors, one on one.
Overall, the situation is stable, and I would even say good. We are
collaborating confidently in this area.

We are proceeding on schedule with regard to the most sensitive issues,
which we have coordinated. As you know, the preparation of the relevant
facilities will be finished on July 7–8, after which we will immediately start
the process of deploying the corresponding types of weapons in your territory.
So, everything is going to plan consistently.

We always have plenty to discuss, and that is what we will do today.

To be continued.
