MINSK, June 19 (Xinhua) -- Belarus has been and remains a staunch supporter of intensifying Eurasian integration, Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko said on Thursday.

Belarus has been and remains a staunch supporter of deepening Eurasian integration and building an effectively working common economic space on the basis of trust and mutual understanding, Lukashenko said at a meeting on preparations for the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council session and the Eurasian Economic Forum that will take place in Minsk on June 26-27.

The Belarusian side wants to see practical benefits from the documents adopted in all avenues: industrial cooperation, transport policy, financial market, international positioning and foreign trade, the development of social dimension of integration, he added.
