🤝 On December 27, 2022, President of Russia Vladimir Putin held bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the informal Summit of the CIS heads of state.

🇷🇺🇦🇲 President Putin to Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan: Our economic relations are evolving steadily: we have seen a 73 percent increase in trade over the first ten months of this year. This is a good result.

Of course, the main issue is the settlement in the South Caucasus, and specifically, in Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, the tensions around Karabakh.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 President Putin to President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko: We agreed to hold the Year of the Russian Language in 2023 and I thought that it would be the most appropriate to meet today for a working breakfast in the Russian Museum.

It is a good environment to talk about serious matters, including our bilateral relations. Even though we are in constant contact, still life gives us a reason every day to discuss certain issues and make the necessary decisions to deal with them efficiently.

💬 Sergey Lavrov: Our and your Western neighbours have openly stated their goal of curbing our and the Union State’s development. The West is trying, in every possible way, to encourage the non-systemic opposition that is working abroad against the interests of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation.

Our position is absolutely clear. We will discuss it today in detail as relates to further steps at the meeting of the two collegiums of the Belarusian and Russian foreign ministries. We have prepared several reports.

☝️ I am sure that the agreements we will sign following today’s discussion will facilitate the further implementation of the programme of our countries’ coordinated foreign policy actions.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Today, Belarus, a state linked to Russia by centuries of fraternal friendship and bonds of mutual assistance, is marking Independence Day.

#OnThisDay in 1944, Minsk was liberated from Nazi German invaders and occupants as a result of well-coordinated Red Army operations. Fighting shoulder to shoulder, our nations made a decisive contribution to the Victory over Nazism.

Today, Russian-Belarusian relations are those of strategic partnership and alliance. Together, our countries continue to overcome serious difficulties and defend their interests on the international scene. They collaborate closely in the field of military and military-technical cooperation and in ensuring collective security.

Moscow and Minsk jointly streamline various institutions of the Union State and promote integration projects in the Eurasian region. Our countries voice common or similar positions on many international issues and cooperate closely in the #CSTO, the #EAEU, the #CIS, the #UN, the #OSCE and other international and regional organisations.

🤝 We congratulate the fraternal people of Belarus on the national holiday. We wish them well-being and prosperity.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during a meeting with President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko (Minsk, June 25, 2024)

💬 Thank you for your kind words about the foreign ministries of our countries. We do our best to achieve the strategic goals that you and President of Russia Vladimir Putin have set in foreign policy, and to organise our foreign political activities in a manner that provides diplomatic support for integration.

Yesterday, we signed the Joint Statement on the Main Foreign Policy Tasks of the Union Integration of Russia and Belarus. The statement directs us to always consider the interests of the Union State rather than the interests of Minsk or Moscow separately when strengthening our coordination.

All the agreements concerning the Shanghai Cooperation Organisations have been finalised. As the first act of the Summit in Astana, Belarus will be officially accepted as a full #SCO Member State. Minsk will participate in all events on par with the other members.

🌐 We can report on other matters as well. Yesterday, we held a detailed discussion about the #UN and the #OSCE. You are fortunate in that Belarus was never a member of the Council of Europe, so you did not have to withdraw.

Eurasian security are under discussion as well. Both you and Vladimir Putin have voiced your proposals.

<...>

👉 Mr Aleinik and I discussed how to promote the concept of Eurasian security and get more like-minded Parties involved. I believe this concept has good prospects.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement and answers to media questions at a joint news conference following talks with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Belarus Sergey Aleinik (Minsk, June 24, 2024)

💬 Sergey Lavrov: I would like to once again express my gratitude to our Belarusian friends for your warm hospitality and excellent arrangements during my official trip to the Republic of Belarus.

Our talks were held in a trust-based and friendly atmosphere, were quite substantive and covered an extensive number of issues.

We focused on important international matters. We compared notes on numerous aspects of bilateral cooperation, including interministerial interaction and foreign policy alignment.

Key talking points:

• Our absolute priorities include foreign policy support for the Union integration and strengthening international positions of the Union State, the 25th Anniversary of which we will celebrate on December 8, 2024.

• We will provide every bit of assistance to our Belarusian allies in order to get them fully onboard at the #SCO and various #BRICS mechanisms as soon as possible.

• We condemn the Western countries’ actions that have led to the Ukraine crisis and the final collapse of the security system in Europe, based on the Euro-Atlantic principles. In this context, we have paid special attention to the prospects for creating a new architecture of equal and indivisible security in Eurasia, inviting all countries in our common continent to cooperate in this process.

• Our proposal [on Eurasian security] is addressed to all those who are willing to consider the prospect for creating a new security system on an equitable basis with regard for the interests of all countries on the continent and based on the balance of these interests, excluding any outside interference.

• We reiterated our commitment to jointly uphold traditional values and the historical truth, and to prevent the rewriting of history and the glorification of Nazism.

• We noted the counterproductive consequences of politicising international cultural, humanitarian, scientific and sports relations.

• We focused on creating a common Union State space in defence and security. We noted that the joint regional grouping of troops and forces deployed in the Republic, as well as advanced Russian defence complexes and tactical nuclear weapons which reliably shield our common western borders in accordance with the decisions of the presidents of the two countries, are quite helpful in achieving this goal.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko on Independence Day.

✉️ Eighty years ago today, our fathers and grandfathers, who fought side by side in the Red Army, liberated Minsk from the Nazi invaders.

It is important that the bonds of friendship and mutual assistance, which grew even stronger during the difficult wartime years, continue to serve as a solid foundation for the development of strategic partnership and alliance between our countries today. Russia and Belarus are successfully cooperating in various spheres and effectively coordinating their efforts against external threats and challenges.

I am confident that the further development of the entire range of our constructive bilateral ties and the strengthening of the Union State bodies will serve the best interests of our fraternal nations.

🤝 I wholeheartedly wish you good health and success, and happiness and well-being to the people of Belarus.

🇷🇺🇧🇾✉️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings on the 70th birthday to President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.

✍️ The message reads, in part:

💬 While holding your high office, you have gained a reputation as a true patriot of your country. You persistently promote its interests on the international stage and are a wise politician capable of taking balanced and far-reaching decisions even in the most challenging situations.

Your contribution to developing friendly ties between Russia and Belarus, building and strengthening the Union State’s institutions, as well as promoting mutually beneficial integration processes within the Eurasian space cannot be underestimated.

📑 Earlier President Putin signed an Executive Order awarding the Order of St Andrew the Apostle the First-Called to President of the Republic of Belarus, Chairman of the Supreme State Council of the Union State Alexander Lukashenko for his outstanding achievements in developing the allied relations and strategic partnership between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, strengthening friendly ties between the people of Russia and Belarus, as well as for his personal contribution to creating the Union State and ensuring its effective operation.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 On October 9, President of Russia Vladimir Putin presented the Order of St Andrew the Apostle the First-Called, the highest state decoration of the Russian Federation, to President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko in a ceremony held in St Andrew’s Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace.

Alexander Lukashenko was decorated for his outstanding achievements in developing allied relations and strategic partnership between Russia and Belarus, strengthening friendly ties between the peoples of Russia and Belarus, as well as for making a significant personal contribution to the creation of the Union State and ensuring its effective operation.

💬 President Putin: We have gathered in St Andrew’s Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace to take part in a ceremony for presenting the highest state decoration of the Russian Federation, the Order of St Andrew the Apostle the First-Called, to President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.

This is Russia’s oldest order, instituted more than three centuries ago by Peter the Great in honour of St Andrew the Apostle the First-Called, who was a Christian saint, religious leader, apostle and martyr. He is also the patron of the Russian land and the Orthodox Church and has enjoyed special respect in both Russia and Belarus.

🎖 According to the statute for this order, it can be awarded to prominent Russian government officials, as well as foreign leaders for their outstanding service in strengthening ties with our country.

Mr Lukashenko, you certainly are worthy of this high decoration. By bestowing the Order of St Andrew the Apostle the First-Called upon you, Russia expresses its gratitude for your outstanding contribution to developing Russia-Belarus relations, alliance and strategic partnership.

These relations rest on a solid foundation formed by the perennial principles of friendship and cooperation, mutual respect and due regard for each other’s interests, as well as shared spiritual values, and the fact that many people in Russia and Belarus have close family ties.

☝️ This solid foundation has served as a bedrock for Russia and Belarus in their efforts to build the Union State, which has effectively guaranteed our common defence and security, and created a common economic, legal and humanitarian space.

Mr Lukashenko, you stood at the roots of the Union State and made a meaningful contribution to strengthening and developing it. We know you as a persistent and unwavering advocate of preserving and expanding close ties across the space formed by the Commonwealth of Independent States.

<...>

I am certain that our combined efforts will enable us to make further strides in promoting #RussiaBelarus cooperation. We will seek to further reinforce our mutually beneficial economic ties and close contacts, while effectively ensuring security for our countries and the Union State.

🤝 Mr Lukashenko, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to you on receiving Russia’s highest state decoration and wish you good health and success in your public duties. I wish the people of Belarus, our brotherly nation, peace, stability and prosperity.
