MINSK, 31 October (BelTA) - Illegal bans of the West jeopardize the sustainable development of the world, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the 2nd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security on 31 October, BelTA has learned.
“Being aimed at the destruction of national economies, the sanctions are actually working against ordinary people. Under such conditions, there can be no question of any fulfillment of obligations under the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It is quite obvious that without the illegal bans and restrictions of the West, the world would have moved much closer to solving these tasks,” the Belarusian leader said.
In his words, half the world is targeted with illegal sanctions. Entire sectors of the economy have been paralyzed by illegitimate restrictions, and the right of private property has been destroyed. “State assets are arrested and sovereign financial resources are simply plundered. Gas pipelines are being blown up and access to the sea is being cut off,” the president said.
