Belarus is ready to develop all-round cooperation with Qatar, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said as he met with Qatar Minister of State for Defence Affairs Hamad bin Ali Al Attiyah on 2nd  July. The Belarusian head of state noted that the two countries cooperate in various fields. ‘There are no closed topics. We are ready to cooperate in education, military and technical fields if your country is interested in it,’ the Belarusian leader said. ‘But you should know and please tell my good friend, the Emir of Qatar, that we are ready to cooperate with your country in all areas, we will always be a reliable partner for you,’ Alexander Lukashenko emphasised . The President believes the existing level of trade between the two countries ($18-20 million) is ridiculous. ‘We expect not only to double bilateral trade, but also to increase it several times,’ the Belarusian head of state said.
