President stresses need for continuous dialogue with EU bodies

We need to continue our dialogue with the EU bodies, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said as he met with Andrea Rigoni, Rapporteur on Belarus of the Political Affairs Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). Andrea Rigoni has arrived in Minsk to prepare a draft report that will include a new PACE resolution. The document is to be presented in Strasburg in April. The Council of Europe is the oldest inter-state association in the region. Belarus is actively working towards accession to its international treaties and is fully involved in the activities of seven committees of the organization.
