MINSK, 19 January (BelTA) - The national public association Belaya Rus can contribute to the public diplomacy and the positive public opinion of Belarus abroad, Chairman of Belaya Rus association Alexander Radkov said at the 3rd congress of the public association on 19 January, BelTA has learned.

“We believe that Belaya Rus can contribute towards the strengthening of public diplomacy and developing the positive public opinion of Belarus abroad, including in the United Nations, PACE, the OSCE,” Alexander Radkov noted.

According to him, during the 2015 presidential election the international organizations cooperated closely with Belaya Rus, solving their issues with the help of this association. “They addressed all their needs through us. By the way, they checked our entire system, all our public reception rooms, our headquarters and worked directly with us. They even kept up correspondence with the president through us,” he said.

“By ramping up its activities in these areas, Belaya Rus will be able to gain relevant political experience, which will make further transformations in the national political system possible,” Alexander Radkov said.
