MINSK, 19 February (BelTA) – Plans have been made to organize certain inventorying of Belarus’ relations with foreign military attachés. Chief of the International Military Cooperation Department, Aide for International Military Cooperation to the Belarusian Defense Minister Valery Revenko made the statement after a briefing held on 19 February to discuss topical matters of military policy, construction and development of Belarus’ Armed Forces, BelTA has learned.
Representatives of the foreign corps of military diplomats from over 20 states, who are accredited with the Belarusian Defense Ministry, took part in the briefing. They were informed about topical matters of military policy, construction and development of Belarus’ Armed Forces. A presentation of the views of top officers of the Belarusian Defense Ministry on the development of the military and political situation in the world and in the European region was an important part of the event.
The operation of foreign military attachés in Belarus was discussed as well. “They use benefits of our state. They see that it is quiet and calm here, that the people are well-off. But some of them still follow the policy of their states, of their political departments and present the information in a not exactly constructive manner sometimes. This is why today we’ve had quite a serious conversation with them, during which we asked them to objectively cover the ongoing events, the situation in our state. It will allow making appropriate decisions for building relations with the Republic of Belarus. It is a very serious matter and we are going to organize certain inventorying of our relations. I would like to remind you that we’ve accredited 36 foreign states, including ten NATO members, with which we build constructive relations that every one of us can understand. We want peace and as the president of our state said, now is the time for concrete actions,” the defense minister’s aide concluded.
