MINSK, 25 October (BelTA) – For Belarus, the UN is the organization of inclusiveness, Belarus' Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Alena Kupchyna said when speaking at the UN Day event in the Small Hall of the Palace of the Republic on 24 October, BelTA has learned.
There are no contentious issues with the UN team in Belarus. “The histories of Belarus and UN are closely intertwined. We are proud of the fact that Belarus is one of the founding members of the United Nations,” Alena Kupchyna said. She noted with regret that there is a lack of trust between the member states of the United Nations and expressed the hope that these challenges will be overcome.
“The UN has always come to the rescue of Belarus: in times of devastation after World War II, in mitigating the Chernobyl impact and in other situations. We intend to continue to work together to achieve Sustainable Development Goals adopted by heads of state at the UN headquarters in New York in September 2015,” Alena Kupchyna added.
