August 23, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Belarusian Foreign Minister Maksim Ry\u017eanko\u016d and Kazakh Ambassador Timur Zhaksylykov have exchanged information on the “agenda of Belarusian-Kazakh relations” at a meeting in Minsk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Belarusian foreign office, they also discussed “the state of and prospects for the development of cooperation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 21, Murat Nurtleu, Kazakhstan\u2019s deputy prime minister and top diplomat, urged Belarusian Ambassador Pavie\u0142 Uciupin to convey to Minsk “the need to objectively assess Astana’s position.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting followed the broadcast of the full version of Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s interview to Rossiya<\/em> TV, in which he accused some former Soviet states of \u201cweaseling,\u201d seeking economic and military benefits from Russia without giving anything back in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe time is not far when you will come to Russia and beg for support and help [because] there is no one else to ask,\u201d the Belarusian ruler said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also recalled that Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) forces helped Kazakhstan suppress anti-government protests in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States and European Union do not want to trade with Kazakhstan, he added in another controversial remark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kazakhstan pursues a balanced and peaceful foreign policy in accordance with the fundamental norms of international law, Nurtleu responded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Astana firmly believes that all disagreements between states should be resolved by political and diplomatic means, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the current geopolitical conditions, the foreign policy course of the country developed by the head of state [Kassym-Jomart Tokayev] has proved its effectiveness,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s interview also created a stir in Armenia, with angered Armenians holding a protest rally in front of the Belarusian embassy in Yerevan, demanding that the country break off diplomatic ties with Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
