You don't see this every day: Belarus's President Alyaksandr Lukashenka in his swimming trunks.
In an interview with an Argentinean newspaper, he began by saying, "I've never been interviewed naked on the beach before." (Lukashenka is on tour in Latin America at the moment.)
Then he gets down to more serious business, speaking about Belarus's involvement in oil and gas production in Venezuela, the joys of drinking water, and says that his country is the most beautiful and safest place in the world with the kindest people.
He also gives the reporter a portfolio featuring Belarusian-made products and a photo album of the Belavezhskaya Pushcha national park.
In a piece on its website, Russia Today compares Lukashenka to other unclothed presidents:
But the Belarusian president did keep his shirt on, so he still doesn't beat Putin and Obama, who have both appeared shirtless.
