Quote from Lukashenko: "I am convinced that today's disagreements will not be able to destroy the foundation of heartfelt neighbourly relations between the people of the two countries, built over many centuries. Belarus will continue to advocate the preservation of harmony and the development of mutually respectful contacts on all levels."
