Minsk, March 11 (Xinhua) — The foreign policy environment for Belarus in 2025 remained challenging, but the country managed to ensure the stability of its foreign policy course. This was stated by Belarusian Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov on Wednesday. The corresponding information was published by the Belta news agency.

"The foreign policy environment surrounding Belarus in 2025 remained challenging, but we have managed to ensure the sustainability of our foreign policy. Belarus remains open to the comprehensive development of relations with all those who are prepared to engage in dialogue based on the principles of equality, mutual respect, and consideration of each other's national interests," noted M. Ryzhenkov.

Summing up the year's work, he reported that the country's priority remained strengthening the strategic partnership with Russia, which reached an unprecedented level in 2025. "The key achievement of 2025 was the successful implementation of a package of integration measures, which allowed us to increase mutual trade turnover to a record $55 billion and ensure reliable protection of Belarusian borders within the framework of the updated security strategy of the Union State," the head of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry emphasized.

He also noted that cooperation with the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States, primarily with Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan, is developing dynamically. –0–
