Sanaka Samarasinha, UNDP Resident Representative in Belarus:
"If we really want to follow the dream of the United Nations, which was born 70 years ago with the formation of the organization - flourishing, life in peace and harmony, then we need to understand one single thing: no national borders do not protect us from climate change, will not protect us from the Ebola virus. We need to combine our efforts and work together. "
