June 21, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> The Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs is interested in establishing “direct and practical contacts” with Eswatini’s police, said Juryj Nazaranka, who is deputizing for the interior minister currently on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting with a delegation led by Russell Dlamini, the prime minister of Eswatini, Nazaranka mentioned logistics and the fight against international terrorism, drug trafficking and human trafficking among the cooperation priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have considerable experience and a sophisticated training system for foreign law enforcers. We are ready to provide the Eswatini police with all possible assistance in various kinds of personnel training,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also suggested that the African counterparts “may be interested in products Belarusian companies manufacture for law-enforcement bodies.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A draft cooperation agreement was presented to the delegation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting was held at a Minsk riot police base, where Eswatini’s representatives examined equipment and weapons, according to the Belarusian ministry. During a show dedicated to guarding senior officials, “they appreciated the skillset of the unit and the special antiterrorism force Almaz” .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 21, the kingdom’s delegation also visited Minsk Dairy Plant No. 1 and the agriculture ministry. It is planning to visit the National Clinical Health Care Center. Yesterday, it visited the Minsk Tractor Works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dlamini began his visit to Minsk on June 20. Two weeks ago, Belarus and Eswatini signed a communiqu\u00e9 on the establishment of diplomatic relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the West imposed sanctions on the \u0141uka\u0161enka government over human rights and security issues, the government has been enthusiastic about finding new partners in faraway lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the foreign ministry, Belarus has diplomatic relations with 51 of 54 African countries. Belarusian embassies are “successful” with both new and traditional partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January, Interior Minister Ivan Kubrako\u016d signed a memorandum of cooperation with Zimbabwean law enforcers. According to Kubrako\u016d, \u0141uka\u0161enka ordered him to provide the Zimbabweans with all possible support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 10, a delegation of the Zimbabwean Ministry of Defense and military university arrived in Belarus for training. The group also included trainees from Botswana, Nigeria, Tanzania and South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During \u0141uka\u0161enka’s visit to Mongolia in June, Kubrako\u016d suggested “providing all possible assistance in the training of Mongolian police officers.” In addition, Belarusian prison factories are “ready to produce uniforms, shoes and special equipment for Mongolian law-enforcement officers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United Arab Emirates is another country whose law enforcers have strong ties to Minsk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March, the interior ministry announced that it was ready to continue a training program for Emirati police in Belarus. The announcement came after Kubrako\u016d met with Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, the Dubai police chief, on the sidelines of the World Police Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
