Speaker: Belarus still seeks cooperation with all foreign partners

MINSK, 19 November (BelTA) – Belarus will continue working to strengthen ties with all foreign partners who are interested in cooperation, Chairman of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus Vladimir Andreichenko said at a meeting of the fourth session of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the seventh convocation on 19 November, BelTA has learned.

“Our inter-parliamentary cooperation program has been strongly affected by the increased geopolitical struggle, including around Belarus,” Vladimir Andreichenko said. “Belarusian MPs often have to respond to unfriendly and utterly groundless statements of some Western politicians. Nevertheless, Belarus will continue working to strengthen ties with all its foreign partners, who are interested in cooperation. However, it is important for them to understand that we do not need them to recognize our election results or to assess the government’s efforts to enforce law and order in the country. We, Belarusians, will deal with this on our own,” he noted.

“We are ready for constructive communication to discuss not made-up problems but real projects that will benefit our nations. Only joint efforts can help us eliminate the threats to international security and address the impact of the pandemic to the world economy,” he added.

Vladimir Andreichenko also believes that parliamentary friendship groups still have untapped potential.
