MINSK, 28 October (BelTA) – The security sector still faces a vast number of challenges requiring discussion and solutions, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the 3rd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security in Minsk on 28 October, BelTA has learned.
“In recent times, we have managed to reach settlements, hopefully long-term ones, on several protracted conflicts: Azerbaijan and Armenia have signed a peace agreement, and the two-year war in Gaza has come to a halt. This is only the beginning, but we hope it is a good beginning,” the president noted. “But there are no glimmers of hope in other hotspots.”
Aleksandr Lukashenko recalled an example he cited at the previous conference that there are currently around 50 armed conflicts of varying intensity worldwide, which is the highest number since the end of World War II. Therefore, the head of state stressed, it should come as no surprise that U.S. President Donald Trump, as he himself says, has stopped six or seven conflicts and wars.
“Hostilities are intensifying, the number of casualties and refugees is growing, and economic losses are mounting. There is a separate challenge posed by the so-called spontaneous revolutions of Generation Z (Bangladesh, Nepal, Madagascar),” the Belarusian leader stated.
