MINSK, 1 October (BelTA) - There are no unfriendly nations and countries of minor importance for Belarus, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he received credentials from ambassadors on 1 October, BelTA has learned.
“There are no unfriendly nations and second-class countries for us. I know that Belarusians are also treated with hospitality and warmth all over the world,” the head of state said.
He noted with regret, however, that the peaceful, prosperous and sovereign Belarus causes irritation with some Western politicians, which turns into prejudice.
“They consider normal to have their one-sided outdated perception of the world order where there are first and second-class people. If someone disagrees with their point of view, they impose sanctions and various restrictions. Minsk has been facing such injustice for many years, practically the entire sovereign history,” the president said. “Nevertheless, we take the courage to pursue an independent policy, both domestic and foreign ones. We always defend our position based on international law and justice.”
