MINSK, 16 February (BelTA) - Belarus will work in the Board of Peace in a most serious manner, while maintaining a sovereign position, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with State Secretary of the Union State Sergey Glazyev in Minsk on 16 February, BelTA has learned.
“We are committed to working in the Board of Peace and we are utterly serious about it. Our goal is not to flatter anyone or fall in line behind others, but to assert our own position, a sovereign position," the head of state underscored.
Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that Belarus does not intend to deviate from its decision to participate in the Peace Board. At the same time, being an ally of Russia, it is ready to cooperate together on this matter. “Naturally, this position, of both Russia and Belarus, will be unified. We will develop this position because we have the same points of view,” the president explained.

Participation in the Board of Peace will be on the agenda of the upcoming talks between Aleksandr Lukashenko and Vladimir Putin. “We will certainly discuss this matter with President Putin, perhaps during the Supreme State Council meeting. After that, we have an entire day of negotiations scheduled, so we will definitely address it. We will compare our positions and share our perspectives. It's possible that my stance may shift based on Vladimir Putin’s arguments, or he might hear something new from me. Either way, this is a topic we will thoroughly discuss,” the Belarusian leader stated.
