The exhibition "Geography of Friendship" has opened at the Palace of Independence

The exhibition is timed to coincide with the country's main national holiday — Independence Day. It presents the history of the country's international contacts through its global cultural heritage — more than 70 gifts from the leaders of 40 countries to the President of Belarus. These are iconic items presented to Aleksandr Lukashenko during state visits, international meetings, and negotiations. The collection demonstrates how diplomacy, traditions of hospitality, and respect are embodied in memorable souvenirs and works of art. A separate section of the exhibition is dedicated to gifts from Russia and China.
