    Belarus is eager to intensify trade and economic cooperation with
    Armenia and further develop relations with the CSTO, President of
    Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said as he met with Armenia's National
    Security Council (NSC) Secretary Arthur Baghdasaryan on 12 January.

    The head of state stressed that Belarus and Armenia have to do a lot
    to promote trade and economic ties.

    The President expressed regret that in 2011 the Belarusian-Armenian
    trade declined. "There are objective and subjective reasons,"
    the President noted. He also reminded that there was a period in
    the history of bilateral relations when the Belarus-Armenia trade
    was zero. Today the two countries should do their best to increase
    bilateral trade as the potential to forge ties is big.

    The President said that in the anticipation of Arthur Baghdasaryan's
    visit to Minsk, Armenia put forward a proposal to enhance relations.

    Armenia is keen to buy various Belarusian goods, from agricultural
    equipment to consumer products.

    The head of state said that he will instruct the Government to enhance
    cooperation with Armenia. "We are ready to find ways to deliver goods
    you have requested to Armenia and set up joint ventures. For example,
    at first we can launch the assembly of some types of machines and
    equipment," Alexander Lukashenko said.

    The second cooperation priority, according to the President, is
    the interaction in the CSTO. "Our countries are in one military and
    political block. We have no closed topics and we will continue to
    cooperate with you. Please feel free to send here your specialists. We
    are ready to discuss any cooperation matters," the head of state said.

    He also thanked Armenia for cooperation in international
    organizations. In his words, the recent international events prove
    that Belarus and Armenia have similar positions on many issues.

    Alexander Lukashenko confirmed that Belarus will do its best to promote
    friendship with Armenia and implement all agreements with this country.

    Arthur Baghdasaryan, in turn, noted that Belarus is Armenia's ally
    and strategic partner. The official expressed confidence that the
    Armenian side will develop this strategic cooperation. He is convinced
    that the visit will help strengthen Belarus-Armenia trade, economic,
    military, and technical cooperation.
