27 сентября 2019

The issue of peace and security is of high importance for humanity. This was stated by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus Vladimir Makei at the 74th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

Vladimir Makei, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus: "The memory of the tens of millions of victims of the Second World War, the atrocities of the Nazis and their criminal policies of genocide has allowed us all to agree on a world order that still helps to avoid a new global conflict. Its consequences would be catastrophic for the entire planet. And, unfortunately, we are all closer than ever to this dangerous line".

The head of the Foreign Ministry also noted that Belarus supports the declaration on the non-placing of medium-range and shorter-range missiles in Europe. In addition, Minsk calls the UN countries to take measures to ensure international information security: There is a need to enhance interstate digital cooperation. It can become the basis for developing international rules for responsible behaviour in virtual space. The eco-problem has not gone unnoticed - the world needs decisive action to combat climate change.
