MINSK, 4 November (BelTA) - The upcoming meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State will be a big step towards advancing the Belarus-Russia integration, Chairman of the Standing Commission on International Affairs and National Security of the Council of the Republic Sergei Rachkov said in an interview with the ONT TV channel on 3 November, BelTA has learned.
"This is a pivotal event as it will shape the future of Belarus and Russia and, of course, a very serious step in advancing the integration between our countries," Sergei Rachkov said.
The senator recalled that the last meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State took place a long time ago. The upcoming meeting on 4 November is a serious signal to those who are trying to pursue an unfriendly policy towards Belarus and Russia.
