The Belarus-Lithuania Economic Forum might turn into a pan-European event, Prime Minister of Belarus Mikhail Myasnikovich said in an exclusive interview with the Litovsky Kurier weekly. The interview was given during the 9th Belarus-Lithuania Economic Forum that was held in Klaipeda on 18-19 April. The heads of government of Belarus and Lithuania discussed ways to expand the framework of the forum and turn it into a comprehensive investment project.“We have already discussed the matter with Prime Minister of Lithuania, Mr Algirdas Butkevicius. An initiative was put forward to turn the Belarus-Lithuania Economic Forum into a pan-European event featuring the European Union on the one hand and the Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia on the other. I think that this idea can translate into a very interesting project that might flesh out when the Lithuanian Premier, Mr Butkevicius, will pay a visit to Minsk,” Mikhail Myasnikovich said. He noted that the scale of Belarus-Lithuania relations is overgrowing the existing format of the bilateral relations. “We objectively need multilateral relations, an access to the markets of other states. It is a good idea, we welcome it and need to give it a boost,” the Premier said.
