NUCLEAR POWER IN BELARUS AND WORLDWIDE
The importance of the Belarus-Russia relations cannot be measured by gas prices, Sergei Kizima, PhD in Politics, Head of the International Relations Department at the Academy of Public Administration under the aegis of the President of Belarus, said as he commented on the results of the meeting of the current issues of Belarus' development that the Belarusian head of state held on 9 March.
“Although the Belarus-Russia relations are going through a tough period, they rely on something bigger than simple accounting. Their importance cannot be measured by any prices, be it for gas, oil or anything else. The countries share a common history, have common goals in integration associations. For Belarusians, Russia has always been a sisterly nation,” the expert noted.
Sergei Kizima said that Belarus and Russia need to continue the Eurasian integration in order to jointly solve problems in the field of economy and politics and to confront global challenges in foreign markets. “Gas and oil problems, barriers to the supply of Belarusian products to the Russian market distract the attention from the main issue that should be addressed, which is the joint struggle against economic problems in the European region,” Sergei Kizima believes.
“I would like to hope that Moscow will reconsider its position towards its partners in the EEU and will start helping them instead of creating problems,” he stressed.
