TIANJIN, 1 September (BelTA) – Belarus is ready to join China’s global governance initiative, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of State in the SCO Plus format, BelTA has learned.
“Esteemed President Xi Jinping, your fourth global initiative, Global Governance, has the complete and unwavering support of Belarus. We particularly endorse the initiative because it is rooted in the essential principles of equality and justice – precisely what is lacking in contemporary international development. Esteemed President Xi has provided a clear assessment of the situation and put forward key principles that should guide our efforts to resolve real problems facing countries and peoples: sovereign equality, the supremacy of international law, and multilateralism. We are ready to join this initiative both in the SCO and on the UN platform,” the Belarusian leader said
He thanked the Chinese leader for the warm and cordial welcome, excellent organization of the joint work, and congratulated China on its successful chairmanship of the SCO.
The head of state noted that under China’s consistent and diligent leadership, the SCO held over a hundred events at various levels and formats this year. “This significantly strengthened interaction within the SCO and expanded political, economic, and humanitarian ties among member states,” he emphasized.
