The Belarusian leader is expected to meet his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inacio da Silva on March 22 in Rio de Janeiro.

Lukashenko said in Caracas on Tuesday that Belarus was ready to assist Venezuela in the creation of a modern national defense system.

Lukashenko"s visit to Venezuela has already seen a deal for the South American state to supply up to 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day to Belarus.
