On Monday, June 6, Dr. Kodzo Kpoku Alabo, Ghana's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Russian Federation & Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) presented his Letter of Credence to His Excellency (Mr.) Alexander Lukashenko, Belarusian President, in a colourful ceremony that took place in the presidential palace in Minsk, capital of the Republic of Belarus.

The Belarusian President also received new ambassadors from other foreign countries.

Addressing the foreign diplomats, Mr. Lukashenko highlighted the gradual diversification of export and equal distribution of trade in three major destinations, namely the Eurasian Economic Union, the European Union, and partners in Asia, Africa, North and South America, as the main priorities of the Belarusian economic policy.

By 2020, Belarus is planning to reach proportional balance of trade in every destination.

“I want to assure you that our government and citizens will provide all-round attention and assistance. The most favorable conditions will be created for your work,” the Head of State assured.

The Belarusian President received the credentials of ambassadors of Australia, Ghana, Guinea, Zimbabwe, South Korea, Nicaragua, the United Arab Emirates, Poland, Slovakia, Sudan, the Philippines, Ethiopia, and Japan.
