IGORA /Leningrad Region/, December 26th. /TASS/. The presidents of Belarus and Russia, Alexander Lukashenko and Vladimir Putin, discussed regional security and bilateral relations in a face-to-face meeting on Wednesday, said Natalia Eismont, spokeswoman for the Belarusian leader.

“You and I understand that presidents can never avoid security issues. “The number one item on the agenda is security issues in general, regional security, the situation that is unfolding now, as it is changing literally from hour to hour, if not minute to minute.” Those are of course the main issues,” she said.

According to the spokeswoman, cooperation between the countries in various areas, including the economy, was also discussed.

“Of course, the Supreme State Council held a meeting relatively recently, but still the governments are working very well and energetically on it. The presidents are always in touch, through formats, including telephone conversations, and here they always find an opportunity to do so.” “We will discuss issues on the bilateral agenda,” Eismont said.

Citing the Belarusian leader, she also said that the presidents discussed not only government affairs, but also personal matters.
