We have practically no secrets from each other. This was shown by my last three-day visit. Therefore, it will be easy for you to work from this side", – said Lukashenko, addressing Viktor Denisenko.
However, as the Belarusian president noted, the great potential for the development of trade with Tajikistan has not yet been realized.
