“In the current international situation, against the backdrop of the tense situation, primarily on the western borders, we vitally need to develop alliance and strategic partnership between Belarus and Russia,” the Belarusian leader stated.
Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized that the current geopolitical situation objectively requires the two countries to be prepared to respond together to any challenges.
The president noted that practical implementation of the Union State treaty on security guarantees has begun, and that the Oreshnik missile system went on combat duty in Belarus in December.
“We are closely coordinated in our foreign policy. The signing of a directive on mutual support and cooperation in international justice will be a significant step toward safeguarding our shared interests and upholding the inviolability of international law and its institutions,” the Belarusian leader said.
