Makei comments on tense atmosphere in international arena
Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei commented on the tense atmosphere in the world arena. According to him, today we are witnessing infantilism in the policy of some Western leaders. This also relates to the expansion of the North Atlantic Alliance to the East. Belarus resolutely opposes this policy. The head of the Foreign Ministry said so at the press conference with representatives of Belarusian and foreign media.
As for our stance on the expansion of NATO, it is well known. It has remained unchanged since the early 1990s. We have always been resolutely against the expansion of NATO. We believe that the promises that were once made to Gorbachev have been broken by our Western partners. As a result, we have a situation, where no one trusts anyone, when the world is divided into ‘us' and ‘not us' and when such organizations as the OSCE Permanent Council, the UN Security Council have turned into a battlefield.
He also touched upon the unfriendly actions of our southern neighbor. Ukraine prohibited the transit of Belarusian fertilizers.
