Belarus is to render military assistance
The president of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has promised to continue to render the military assistance to Iran.
The application of the Belarus leader has been made during the meeting with Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Mostafa Mohamad-Najjar, who has arrived with official visit to Minsk. According to Lukashenko’s words, cooperation of Minsk with Teheran in military-technical sphere is being at the stage of constant development, and, first of all, due to high technologies.
Alexander Lukashenko has also added that Belarus will execute all the signed contracts with Iran, not having specified, which contracts he meant: arms’ deliveries or other commercial transactions. Official representatives of Minsk have refused to comment this application.
Mostafa Mohamad-Najjar has declared that Belarus occupies special position in foreign policy of Iran. He has also noted that attitudes of Teheran and Minsk are under construction on mutual understanding at a presidential level.
It is worth of mentioning, that earlier, on May, 22nd, 2007, Minsk and Teheran have agreed about development of interaction in oil-and-gas branch. The matter, in particular, concerns creation of oil refining manufactures, development of oil and gas fields, and construction of underground storehouses with participation of the Belarus party in Iran.
Thus Belarus and Iran are substantially cooperating in foreign policy reference points: confrontation from the USA and common interests with Russia. And as the president of Iran has declared, attitudes with Belarus are one of priority directions of foreign policy for Teheran.
