Alexander Lukashenka stated that Belarus and Pakistan should more actively develop economic relations. He said this at a meeting with the Chairman of the Senate of Pakistan, Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani, reports BelTA.
According to Lukashenka, good political relations have been established between the leadership of the two countries, but economic cooperation does not yet match their level. He recalled the agreement with Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif to significantly intensify economic ties this year and in the coming years.
Separately, Lukashenka noted the need to establish normal financial exchange and payment infrastructure between the two countries.
According to him, trade turnover between Belarus and Pakistan has recently been decreasing, partly due to problems with making payments.
Lukashenka expressed hope that after the visit of the Pakistani delegation, these issues would be resolved, which would allow for expanded trade and economic cooperation.
Earlier, Belarusian authorities hoped that Pakistan would help resolve the acute personnel crisis. The topic of cooperation in this area between Belarus and Pakistan arose after meetings between Belarusian and Pakistani officials. In April 2025, Alexander Lukashenka and Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif agreed to develop a mechanism for Pakistani workers to come to Belarus. The possibility of hosting up to 100-150 thousand people in Belarus is being discussed, but so far this has not really turned into anything serious or large-scale, it seems. Recently, the authorities have started placing new hopes in this matter on Uzbekistan.
