Belarus stands for a multipolar, fair world with guarantees of development for all countries without exception, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said receiving credentials from ambassadors of nine foreign countries on 15 June, BelTA has learned.
Welcoming the diplomats to Belarus, the president has said that now they have the opportunity to see with their own eyes how the Belarusians live.
The president drew attention to the fact that the credentials ceremony was taking place ahead of two important dates for the Belarusian people – 22 June and 3 July.
“The first one is tragic - the Day of National Remembrance of the Victims of the Great Patriotic War, which is associated with the beginning of Hitler's aggression against the Soviet Union. Belarus was part of the Soviet Union and was the first in the way of the invaders, taking the heaviest blow,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. He emphasized that the older generation also had to endure a lot in the first postwar decades, rebuilding the country that was completely destroyed.
“The country was literally raised from the ruins. I think you have heard about the heroism of the defenders of the Brest Fortress, the tragedy of Khatyn and Trostenets. Now you can visit these sacred places of national memory and sorrow that leave no one indifferent,” Aleksandr Lukashenko added.
Speaking of the second date - 3 July - the head of state said that it was a joyful day of the liberation of Minsk, which is now celebrated in Belarus as Independence Day. Now it is hard to imagine that Minsk was almost completely destroyed during the war.
“We stand for a multipolar, fair world with guarantees of development for all countries without exception. At this time, the West is destroying the system of European security established after World War II,” the head of state said.
“The United Nations has turned from a civilized dialogue platform to resolve disputes and discuss the future development of the world into a diplomatic casino run by Western tycoons,” the president said. “They are trying to hinder the development of individual countries and entire regions, and NATO forces are deployed on the borders with those who disagree.”
Belarus strongly disagrees with this scenario, said Aleksandr Lukashenko. “Where are all those international organizations that see it all - the UN, OSCE, the Council of Europe, IMF and the World Bank, while we have been strangled with illegal sanctions for three decades in a row?” the president asked a rhetorical question.
“Nationalist formations consisting of various scoundrels undergo intensive training in Ukraine. The West openly declares that it intends to use them to overthrow the legitimate authorities in Belarus by force of arms,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
Belarus, as an independent and responsible member of the international community, is making a significant contribution to the system of international and regional security, the president said.
“We are ready for a dialogue on cooperation with any country that respects the choice of the Belarusian people and recognizes the sovereignty and independence of our state. So are you,” he said. “I mean a dialogue on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. Belarus is always open and hospitable to those who are open and sincere with us. It is on these principles that we have traditionally developed and continue developing contacts with all our partners.”

I recently learned my surname is not Polish, but Belarusian. I heard you on shortwave in the past and am so happy to listen online in English. We hear nothing about Belarus here in the US so I am so glad to learn about your country. Keep on broadcasting in English. I also joined the Hoererklub on Facebook as I can understand German. If you have information or a station pennant, I will very much appreciate it.
