Message from the Indian Ambassador to Belarus

I appreciate the growing warmth in the bilateral relationship between India and Belarus. Both countries are exploring newer areas of cooperation for mutual benefit. The trade and commerce between the two countries have been on a rise, however, it is still much below its true potential. It is heartening to know that the strength of Indian origin students in Belarus is also growing and contributing in strengthening the bonds of friendship and understanding. I also appreciate Belarus’ open-hearted approach towards the Indian diaspora community, offering them a new home for their growth.

Further, it is a matter of satisfaction that both countries are witnessing strengthening of relationship with a clear determination to find new avenues of cooperation for the mutual benefit of the people of our two countries.

Let us re-commit ourselves to work towards further strengthening of the long-standing partnership between India and Belarus.

I place my sincere thanks to ‘The Diplomatist’ for bringing out this special supplement on the occasion of 78th Independence Day of India.

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of India to the Republic of Belarus
