Lukashenko urges to stop arms race, engage in dialogue

 

MINSK, 28 October (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko used his address at the 3rd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security on 28 October to emphasize the critical need to stop the arms race and engage in dialogue, rather than “look at each other through the sights of a gun,” BelTA has learned. 
Concluding his speech, the president thanked participants for gathering in Minsk despite everything, wishing them productive work and the sound ideas so desperately needed. “But even more important than ideas is action,” he emphasized. “We simply cannot allow our conversations to become empty words. Action must follow. Today, we must be focused on this.”

Aleksandr Lukashenko warned that while nations claim they will not get involved in the arms race, their actions prove otherwise. “Seeing the world today, countries will spend their last resources to ensure their security,” he noted. “And if they cannot defeat a potential aggressor, they will seek to inflict unacceptable damage, a strategy Belarus adheres to.”

The Belarusian leader stressed: “We need dialogue. We cannot look at each other through the sights of a gun. Absolutely not. We must always talk. When we don’t talk, war is closer.”
