Lukashenko: Belarus is open to a constructive dialogue with NATO

MINSK, 19 February (BelTA) – Belarus is open to a constructive dialogue with NATO on the basis of parity and transparency. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko made the statement in his speech before top-ranking officers of the Belarusian army on 19 February, BelTA has learned.

Alexander Lukashenko stressed that even in such complicated external conditions Belarus will not abandon its peace-loving foreign policy and will continue safeguarding its interests.

“Certainly, we would like to continue relying on the power of brotherly Russia provided our interests with regard to Belarus’ sovereignty and independence are naturally taken into account,” said the President.

The head of state stressed that Belarus also considers cooperation within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organization as a guarantee of the country’s security and stability on the Eurasian continent.

However, according to Alexander Lukashenko, it does not mean that Belarus will forfeit cooperation with other countries and military political organizations.

“As a sovereign state we are open to a constructive dialogue with NATO on the basis of parity and transparency. We have a lot of common matters to take care of. The joint work to take care of these matters fully meets Belarus’ interests,” noted the head of state.
