Belarusian
President
Aleksandr
Lukashenko
held
a
meeting
with
Zimbabwe
President
Emmerson
Mnangagwa
on
the
sidelines
of
the
World
Climate
Summit
2024
in
Baku,
Azerbaijan
on
12
November.
The
meeting
took
place
in
a
warm
and
friendly
atmosphere.
“Mr.
President,
I
am
glad
to
see
you
active
and
cheerful
despite
all
the
critical
global
challenges,”
Aleksandr
Lukashenko
said
greeting
his
Zimbabwean
counterpart.
“Please,
accept
my
compliments
too.
You
look
great.
And
younger,
of
course,”
the
Zimbabwean
President
replied.
“Perhaps,
not
as
young
anymore,”
Aleksandr
Lukashenko
remarked.
“Well,
you,
Mr.
President,
look
like
a
young
man
compared
to
me,”
Emmerson
Mnangagwa
insisted.
“I
am
82
years
old.
So,
looking
at
you,
Mr.
President,
I
see
my
young
brother
in
you.”
In
turn,
Aleksandr
Lukashenko
emphasized
that
one
cannot
compare
northern
people
with
southern
people.
The
latter
are
much
more
efficient,
active
and
healthier,
the
Belarusian
President
believes.
“We
are
going
to
live
longer,
and
not
just
for
one
more
year,
and
we
still
have
a
lot
to
do,”
the
Belarusian
leader
stressed.
The
head
of
state
also
recalled
the
idea
of
expanding
cooperation
by
involving
other
countries
of
the
region,
particularly
Mozambique:
“I
have
an
idea
that
we
discussed
with
you
at
one
time.
We
will
meet
somewhere,
invite
the
President
of
Mozambique
and
build
our
joint
relations
together.
We
will
make
it
so
that
you
will
have
your
own
ports
in
Mozambique
and
we
will
cooperate
with
you
more
effectively
and
actively
through
them.”
