MINSK, October 5 – RIA Novosti. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has backed plans to build a high-speed railway between Moscow and Minsk as he said many Belarusians have begun traveling to the Russian capital in recent years.

As the Belta news agency reported, the head of state made this statement on Monday in Minsk during a meeting with the chairman of PJSC Bank PSB Pyotr Fradkov.

“I was very positive about the recent decision taken in Russia to build a high-speed highway from Moscow to Minsk,” Lukashenko said.

According to him, this is very interesting for the residents of Belarus, since citizens of the republic began to often visit Russia and its capital. “In recent years, I’ve already called this a pilgrimage of some kind of Belarusians to Moscow. Especially young people,” Lukashenko emphasized.

“I know your patriotic feelings and attitude towards Russia. But we have a common Fatherland, as I often say, from Vladivostok to Brest. Therefore, Belarus should not be a stranger to you,” the president told Fradkov.
