Belarus is ready to do everything necessary to ensure India's successful presidency of BRICS in the upcoming year of 2026, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of India to Belarus Ashok Kumar in Minsk on 4 November, BelTA has learned.

“We are ready to work with you under your presidency in BRICS and are prepared to do everything necessary to ensure your chairmanship is a success. We are grateful to you for the assistance and support you provided us with during our accession to the SCO, as well as for the partnership within BRICS. We gladly rely on your help and support. And you have never refused us this help and support,” the head of state said.
