"This is really a good joint project. And we increase the quality of education; improve the quality of work and at border crossing points."
Andrea Victorin, head of the EU mission in Belarus:
"Many of the activities are linked to the objectives of sustainable development. We now have 2 projects underway. And we are ready to continue to cooperate. "
And now we have a lot of common problems. The main among them is drug trafficking and migration. The flow of migrants continues to grow.
Sanaka Samarasinha, UN Resident Coordinator, UNDP Resident Representative in Belarus:
"The UN is ready to assist your country."
Since the beginning of the armed conflict in Ukraine, Belarus, in the UN estimates, ranks first in the number of Ukrainian migrant workers per capita. Our country has shown great example of hospitality.
