Belarus, represented by First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Lukashevich, is actively pursuing a deeper partnership with the BRICS group, aiming for full membership to enhance its influence in a multipolar world. The country views BRICS as a vital platform for cooperation among the Global South and emphasizes the need for a multilateral approach to global challenges. Belarus's recent elevation to BRICS partner state status is seen as a significant milestone, with ambitions to engage more deeply in multilateral mechanisms and economic initiatives, including the New Development Bank.
In parallel, Belarus is strengthening its long-standing ties with India, which date back to the Soviet era. With the upcoming 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations, both nations are committed to enhancing cooperation across various sectors, including trade, technology, and culture. The bilateral trade turnover is projected to exceed $1 billion by the end of 2025, driven by key areas such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and electric transport. Belarus is particularly interested in Indian agricultural products and aims to establish joint ventures under India's 'Make in India' initiative.
Cultural exchanges play a crucial role in bilateral relations, with Indian cinema gaining popularity in Belarus and initiatives to promote educational ties. Belarus is also advocating for a Free Trade Agreement between India and the Eurasian Economic Union, which could facilitate trade and strengthen economic ties further.
