MINSK, 30 June (BelTA) – The West is trying to impose its dictatorship on everyone, Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov said as he met with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus Vladimir Makei in Minsk, BelTA has learned.
Before the official talks with his Belarusian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov met with Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko to discuss bilateral relations and the situation in the region.
The Russian foreign minister unveiled some details of the meeting: “We discussed the situation in the world in detail, problems in international relations and efforts to maintain international law amidst the selfish policy of the West that is trying to force its dictatorship on everyone, declares ultimatums, does not shy away from attempts to subjugate the disobedient. Indeed, the future world order is at stake: either we go back to basics and stick to the principles of the UN Charter (primarily the principle of sovereign equality of states), or the world will descend into chaos for a long term. Our choice is obvious: we advocate unconditional respect for international law. And we will defend this position together with Belarus and other allies. We have enough partners who share these approaches,” the minister stressed.
