negotiations with the leader of this country, as shavkat mirziyoyev himself noted, it was a meeting of very close friends and brothers. especially in asia carefully selects partner states with which to chart a course for long-term cooperation. and as the president of uzbekistan emphasized, his country does not show such openness towards belarus to all states. belarus is expected in asia; our technologies and competencies are needed; there are plenty of reserves for growth. belarus and uzbekistan plan to increase trade turnover.

the successful visit of alexander lukashenko to uzbekistan once again confirms that the economic development of asian countries is acquiring new qualities that allow us to speak of the region not only as a workshop of the world, but also... as a major consumer. the executive director of the russian association is confident of this foreign policy studies nikolai mizhevich. according to the expert, against the background of sanctions pressure from the west, a turn to asia is one of the most promising vectors of foreign economic development of our country. i would venture to suggest that the issue of

import substitution and overcoming external pressure requires development. relations, well, with conditionally new partners, why conditionally, because once upon a time russia, belarus, and uzbekistan were part of a single state, so to say that we really don’t know each other at all, but this is not so, this is not true, yes, there are people working in the presidential administration, veterans, yes, now we can already say, who remember this era, but it’s one thing to know, and another thing to actually take advantage of the opportunities that we have. so it seems to me that any development of relations with asia now in the widest circle from the two koreas to china, from china to india, from india to pakistan, from pakistan to uzbekistan, is extremely promising, and

i would not forget iran here, and azerbaijan, i wouldn’t forget here either. asia is changing, asia is getting richer, asia is getting louder, speak in the international arena, and if we want to be realists in international relations, we need to listen to this voice in moscow and minsk. what did the presidents of belarus and uzbekistan agree on, how not to lose the historical, friendly connection and still achieve a trade turnover of a billion dollars. the main visit of the week is in the spotlight of experts and guests of the editors club. so why is this vector so important to us today? i am sure that our president proceeds from that analysis of, well, the future development of geopolitical events, and here we need to ensure self-sufficiency, an era of, so to speak, serious geopolitical redistribution is coming to us, and we in some sense must close, but in one direction, in another case, on the contrary, open up and

unite the eurasian space, it will provide us self-sufficiency in development was not closed, i would like to remind you once again who proposed the concept from vladivostok to lisbon, we promoted it, and we are practically promoting this same idea today. as well as an interview that took place before publications like putin’s conversation with carlson blew the minds of american politicians and officials, watch the full episode of the editors’ club on the tv news agency’s youtube channel. there are 2 weeks left until the single voting day in belarus, preparations are entering the final phase. precinct election commissions have already begun their work. every citizen can apply to work to clarify the information entered about him. this also applies to those who plan to vote at a location other than their place of registration. changes to additional lists will be possible until one day voting on the 25th. precinct commissions work on weekdays from 17 to 19, on saturday from
