Belarus and the USA have made great progress during another round of talks in Minsk, U.S. Special Envoy for Belarus John Coale told the media in Minsk on 16 September, BelTA has learned.

“It is a great pleasure to be in this country once again. Our talks went on for a very long time. These talks will continue. We have made great progress, from my point of view. And we will continue our joint work,” the U.S. special envoy said.

According to him, the parties also discussed international issues, bilateral agenda and other matters of mutual interest.

Belarus and the USA will continue working to resolve their remaining issues, U.S. Special Envoy for Belarus John Coale continued.

“Both sides will continue working to resolve the remaining issues. Once everything is settled and agreed upon by both parties, there will be further releases of individuals and the lifting of sanctions on Belarusian companies,” John Coale said.

The U.S. special envoy noted that the current talks in Minsk had been highly productive. “As always, I extend my gratitude to Belarus and am profoundly grateful to President Lukashenko,” he said.

As previously reported, following this round of Belarus-USA talks, the United States announced plans to lift sanctions on two Belarusian companies: Lakokraska and the Bellesbumprom concern.
