Alexander Lukashenko: promoting Belarus’ relations with EU, USA important
Alexander Lukashenko believes it is important to develop Belarus’ relations with the European Union and the USA.
“I would like to stress that we are in the centre of Europe and are not going to go away or change the world. The European Union is trade partner number two for us. Apart from economy we are connected by common challenges and threats, the need to work together to resolve them. Our mutual importance can only grow,” President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said in his Address to the Belarusian nation and the National Assembly on April 29.
The head of state remarked, Belarus’ sovereignty and independence, its contribution to the European and global security are “important factors for our continent and all in Europe understand it”.
Alexander Lukashenko was confident, sooner or later the USA will understand it too. Belarus wants to quarrel neither with the East nor the West. “There are no insurmountable problems between us. There is misunderstanding, mutual claims, rough things we have to work on,” he believes. “But we have to work together, not through unilateral ultimatums and sanctions. The time for those has passed,” added the President of Belarus.
