Lukashenko urges world leaders to put an end to wars and conflicts on earth
NEW YORK, 29 September (BelTA) – Speaking at the general debate of the 70th session of the UN General Assembly in New York Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko called on world leaders to put an end to wars and conflicts on earth, BelTA informs.
“I would least want to sound prophetically, but today one cannot help avoiding the feeling of seeing a phantom of a new big conflict, if not a war. We must not allow this sinister phantom turn into reality,” said the Belarusian leader.
“We have gathered today here to discuss important issues, outline a development program for the United Nations Organization. I have already said this: for millions of people on the planet the very notion ‘sustainable development’ sounds as profane words as they die every day, children, the elderly die. Only one decision is important today, which is to put an end to wars and conflicts, at least to the ones that are currently raging on the planet,” Alexander Lukashenko stressed.
The President of Belarus concluded his statement with a quote from a great man Nelson Mandela. “This unbroken fighter for justice in the world once said: "Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. You can be that generation". I hope very much that such a destiny will fall on our generation. I am confident that we will find strength and common sense to do whatever it takes to change the world for the better,” said the Belarusian leader.
