MINSK, 21 April (BelTA) - Belarus must be prepared to counter international terrorism, suppress any of its manifestations by cooperating with other states and creating its own security system, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said when delivering his State of the Nation Address on 21 April, BelTA has learned.

“Belarus should be ready to counteract international terrorism, suppress any of its manifestations through cooperation with other states and development of its own security system,” Alexander Lukashenko said. “The global situation has considerably changed in recent years. Regional conflicts have been rapidly multiplying, bringing large-scale migration crises. Full-fledged terrorist quasi-states emerge to threaten the whole world community. Even prosperous Europe cannot feel safe today. A wave of terrorism has swept over many countries. The bloody events in Paris, Brussels have shocked the world. These threats still exist for other states, and we should not forget about it,” the head of state said.

“The entire Belarusian society is involved in ensuring security, demonstrates solidarity in the face of new threats and accepts the measures undertaken by security agencies,” the President noted.
