MINSK, 23 September (BelTA) — Belarus has neither internal contradictions nor claims to other states and adheres to the policy of peaceful settlement of any disputes, Deputy Chairman of the Council of the Republic, National Coordinator for the Sustainable Development Goals Sergei Khomenko said at the UN Summit of the Future in New York, BelTA has learned.
"Belarus has neither internal contradictions nor claims to other states. It follows the principles of peaceful settlement of any disputes, equality of states and non-interference in internal affairs," Sergei Khomenko said. "Our summit is taking place amid today’s acute geopolitical crisis stemming from global dominance ambitions of certain Western countries. Further escalation of the crisis may lead to a global disaster. Therefore, very urgent questions emerge: how to stop negative tendencies in global politics and to pull the world away from the brink of an abyss?"
The speaker pointed out that Belarus offers concrete steps. "Our proposals are driven by the conviction that all challenges must be addressed through a dialog on global security in the spirit of San Francisco. As Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said in his letter to the UN secretary general, it is never too late to do what is right and needed. Nowadays, when mankind is really close to a dangerous line, such a dialog is needed more than ever," Sergei Khomenko emphasized.
"Last year Minsk hosted an international conference on Eurasian security. The goal of this annual event is to promote universal security in the Greater Eurasia region and to adopt the Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century," he added.
Deputy Chairman of the Council of the Republic Sergei Khomenko and Chairman of the Standing Committee on International Affairs and National Security of the Council of the Republic Sergei Aleinik are taking part in the UN Summit of the Future on 22-23 September. The summit is a high-level event bringing world leaders together to forge a new international consensus on how we deliver a better present and safeguard the future. Effective global cooperation is increasingly critical to our survival but difficult to achieve in an atmosphere of mistrust, using outdated structures that no longer reflect today’s political and economic realities. This once-in-a-generation opportunity serves as a moment to mend eroded trust and demonstrate that international cooperation can effectively achieve agreed goals and tackle emerging threats and opportunities.
