Meeting with Equatorial Guinea’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Diaspora Simeon Oyono Esono Angue

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko met with Equatorial Guinea’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Diaspora Simeon Oyono Esono Angue in Minsk on 19 October.

"Fortunately, we have recently been working very closely with your country in terms of development a concrete plan of action for our relations. I will definitely visit your country in the near future. We have already scheduled this. We'll figure out the dates. But the most important thing is that we have a clear idea of how to build up trade and economic relations between our countries," Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.

Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “I’ve already told the President of Equatorial Guinea and would like to once again emphasize that Belarus has all the technologies for advancing your country to a higher level. You are also very interested in it. I also mentioned our proposals during the visit of your President. Essentially, we are ready to not only sell the products you need to you. We are ready to transfer technologies to you and train your people how to use them. And it would be a good idea (it is the second direction) for you and us to manage to create a manufacturing base in Equatorial Guinea that will be able to work for the benefit of neighboring states at least.”

The President said he believes that the current visit of the Equatorial Guinea’s minister of foreign affairs, international cooperation and diaspora will become the key stage in preparing a future meeting of the two leaders.

In turn, Simeon Oyono Esono Angue thanked Aleksandr Lukashenko for the meeting and passed on a message from the Equatorial Guinea President.
