According to him, Belarus has \u201ccompletely restructured\u201d its economy and is now welcomed across the world.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThey chose this path and think that Americans or some Europeans will come here and put pressure on me. Listen, we have fully restructured. And if we move faster and work more actively in the economy \u2014 from <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitsyebsk <\/span>Region to <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Homyel<\/span> Region \u2014 we will have no problems at all. We are awaited in many corners of the planet with our technologies and our goods. So if we raise the quality a little (although nobody complains about our quality, but still, we must work on it), we will have no competitors,\u201d<\/i> he said.<\/p>\n<p>Recalling his meeting earlier today with the speaker of Kenya\u2019s Senate, <strong>Amason Jeffah Kingi<\/strong>, Lukashenka mentioned potential cooperation in oil extraction:<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cWe are going to Africa to help them with technologies. And we have the appropriate machinery for these technologies. We are a machine-building country; agriculture is developed. In Kenya they are ready today to develop oil fields. We are ready to join. We have specialists who know how to do it. So we always come with good intentions. Not to mention our neighbours.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cAnd if we travel somewhere, if we negotiate with someone, it is not aimed against third countries,\u201d<\/i> he added.<\/p>\n<p>Lukashenka also repeated his claim that the West is \u201cstrangling\u201d Belarus\u2019s foreign partners, while he, in contrast, offers a <i>\u201chand of friendship and cooperation.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cStates, people, governments understand this perfectly and are ready to build good relations with us,\u201d<\/i> he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alyaksandr Lukashenka has announced that Belarus is prepared to take part in developing oil deposits in Kenya.
