Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko plans to visit Ecuador in 2016. He made the statement at the meeting with President of the National Assembly of Ecuador Gabriela Rivadeneira Burbano in Minsk.

"I am very glad that the representative of such a geographically distant but still like-minded country as Ecuador stays in Belarus today. I have been to many countries, but the uniqueness and originality of Ecuador cannot be compared to any of them. The Belarusian side is now gearing up for the top-level visit to Ecuador. We are working out the agenda, first of all, its trade and economic dimensions. We should implement our agreements reached during the top-level talks with Ecuador President Rafael Correa. I think that we will prepare the program of this visit very quickly."

The Ecuadorian side is interested in the expansion of ties with Belarus, Gabriela Rivadeneira Burbano said at the meeting. Besides, she pointed out the importance of the development of the inter-parliamentary contacts with Belarusian colleagues and mentioned the signing of important bilateral documents.
