Belarus has renewed its diplomatic pool. 9 ambassadors - representatives of the countries of Asia, Africa, Middle East and Central America start their mission in our country. Today the diplomats presented credentials to the head of the Belarusian state. The ceremony was held at the Palace of Independence.
Our political columnist with more details.
Talks with diplomats are a regular event on the President's schedule. They come not only at the start of the mission, but also at the end to thank for the work and summarize the results.
This time diplomats from such countries as Algeria, Burundi, Dominican Republic, Kazakhstan, China, Kuwait, Mauritania, Serbia and Uruguay came to Minsk.
There is no U-turn in Belarus' foreign policy course. We are in favor of dialogue, peaceful and effective cooperation with all States that are interested in it. As the head of state emphasized today, there are no unfriendly nations and secondary countries for us.
"Peaceful, prosperous and sovereign Belarus causes irritation in some Western politicians, which grows into prejudice. They think their one-sided outdated perception of the world order where there are first and second class people is normal. And if anyone disagrees with their point of view, they strangle them with sanctions and various restrictions. Minsk has been facing such injustice for many years, practically the entire sovereign history," the President noted. - Nevertheless, we take the courage to pursue an independent policy, domestic and foreign. And we always defend our position based on international law and justice."
"This campaign to attack Belarus has already started, you know that. Already, they must have started writing up blueprints for loud plans to "overthrow the regime" and asking for millions of dollars in grants for these useless purposes. Every five years they ask. I will immediately upset the ideological inspirers: we have not allowed and will not allow us to shake up the situation and plunge the country into the abyss of chaos. You will see it," said the Belarusian leader.
"Our people don't need to be agitated for Belarus. They realize that they themselves are this Belarus. Strong, stable and independent. Only the Belarusian people have the right to decide their own fate, whether someone likes it or not," the President said.
