According to Krutoy, these visits have been prepared for several months, and some — since the end of last year.
He noted that Belarus has a number of promising projects with countries in the region worth tens of millions of dollars, and therefore their discussion is taking place at the presidential level.
Krutoy also urged not to look for sensations in the prolonged foreign trip, emphasizing that it is systematic work. He reported that in recent days Lukashenka had studied materials, made adjustments, and prepared for negotiations.
According to official information, during the trip, Alexander Lukashenka will visit three as yet unnamed countries in East and Southeast Asia, where meetings with state leaders and discussions of major projects in various areas of cooperation are planned.
