Lukashenko: Belarus may play part in building up safe Europe
MINSK, 24 February (BelTA) – Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stressed Belarus’ important role and its contribution to the common security on the European continent as he met with Deputy Secretary General of the European External Action Service Helga Maria Schmid on 24 February, BelTA has learned.
“In the light of the recent events in Europe you understand that Belarus is one of the countries that can play an important part in building up a safe Europe. All other matters lose their urgency once it comes to the issues of war and peace. In this respect the country which is geographically situated in the center of Europe cannot but have some weight and influence in such matters,” the President stressed.
For her part, Helga Maria Schmid thanked the Belarusian side for “the contribution to the settlement of the complex crisis in the European region.”
