Belarus is ready to cooperate with Azerbaijan in all avenues, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said as he met with First Deputy Prime Minister of Azerbaijan Yaqub Eyyubov on 10 March.

"We trust you, your country, your government, and we are ready to cooperate with you in all directions, so there are no closed spheres", the head of state said.

Alexander Lukashenko noted that Belarus and Azerbaijan have always successfully solved all the problematic issues.

"We met today in order to solve or consider the existing issues. We even decreased the trade with Azerbaijan for past year, despite all the difficulties, it is a rare case. The trade with Azerbaijan is very profitable for us," the Belarusian leader said.

He noted that there are joint production of Belarusian tractors, trucks, elevators and others in Azerbaijan. Alexander Lukashenko said with repletion that in some areas the localization of production has reached almost half.

"There are 40%, its a very good rate. So, you get the technology, as we promised you, as I promised to Ilham Aliyev, and a normal production is created in your territory," the head of state said.

He stressed that the next step is to enter with the joint production to the third countries, to the Caucasus region.

Alexander Lukashenko also thanked the Azerbaijani side for support.

"You have always made advances for us, always supported us, we are just going to treat our fellow Azeris this way," the President of Belarus said

In turn, Yaqub Eyyubov noted that the attitude of the Belarusian head of state to the Azerbaijani people is priceless.

"Belarus is a country that attracts everybody. You as a leader showed the truth - that you are a man of the people, you can not live without your people, you devote your entire live to your people", he said. "And if you had other natural resources, I think your country would be the first in the world, because the important thing is not what you have, the main thing is to get what you want from what you have."

Yaqub Eyyubov conveyed the greetings from the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev to the head of Belarus and expressed gratitude for the attitude and support, "not only economic, commercial, but also political, fraternal, friendly and neighbor."
