“Our foreign policy cannot be different: it is necessitated by the country’s geographical position,” said Alexander Lukashenko. “It is known that we are not only an inalienable part of Europe but its geographical centre”. The President added Belarus mentality is another factor urging towards solid and friendly relations with Western Europe countries. “Our nation is friendly, non-aggressive, and hardworking, is used to earn its living and have a mind of its own. This is why the Belarusians have never wanted worsening relations with our neighbours,” underlined the head of state.
Alexander Lukashenko also added, economy encourages Belarus to pursue an open multiple-vector policy.
