Łukašenka, foreign ministry extend condolences to Iran over Raisi’s death
May 20, Pozirk. Alaksandar Łukašenka has expressed his condolences to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after the death of President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and several high-level Iranian officials in a helicopter crash on Sunday.
Belarus was “deeply saddened by the news” of Raisi’s death, his press office quoted the message. Raisi “will go down in history as a wise leader who devoted his entire life to selfless service to Iranian people,” Łukašenka noted.
“This is an irreplaceable loss not only for the Iranian society. True friends of Belarus have passed away,” the Belarusian foreign ministry said on X, wishing “resilience and courage” to all Iranians.
Minsk started intensifying ties with Iran in 2023, when Łukašenka met Raisi in Tehran and signed a road map for comprehensive cooperation.
