MINSK, 11 February (BelTA) – Taking into account the recent global developments, it is time to update the concept of national security, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he spoke at the 6th Belarusian People's Congress on 11 February, BelTA has learned.
“Proceeding from the events that have been taking place here in the region and across the globe, it is probably time to update the concept of national security. This is true especially since our NATO neighbors have already upgraded their strategic documents to take into account threats and digital technologies. The necessary infrastructure, including cyber troops and a network of NATO cyber centers, has been developed in the immediate vicinity of our borders,” the president said.
He expressed confidence that with all the risks to national security, information security becomes the main pressure point. “Without belittling the benefits, opportunities and prospects that the information world has opened to man, we must pay attention to its downside. Artificial reality has given the green light to manipulation, deception, and crime,” stressed Aleksandr Lukashenko.
