October 12, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Minsk and Madrid can overcome the \u201cartificially created negative political climate\u201d through mutual respect and shared traditional values, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has said in a congratulatory message to the Spanish people on National Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The politician noted the \u201cpositive experience of cooperation between the two countries over more than 30 years of diplomatic relations,\u201d his press office reported. \u0141uka\u0161enka expressed confidence that this would serve as a foundation for expanding ties between Belarusians and Spaniards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a similar message last year, the Belarusian ruler pointed to mutually beneficial cooperation, constructive dialogue and friendly relations between Belarusians and Spaniards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a member of the European Union, Spain did not recognize \u0141uka\u0161enka as the legitimate president of Belarus. The EU imposed sanctions on his officials following the disputed 2020 presidential election, while Minsk designated all EU members as “unfriendly states.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja was given high-level reception in Spain several times, most recently earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
