Lukashenko hails BRICS as community of the future

KAZAN, 24 October (BelTA) – BRICS is a community of the future which can hasten an end to the Western dominance, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the BRICS Plus/Outreach event as part of the group's summit in Kazan, Russia on 24 October, BelTA has learned.

The head of state remarked that in a short period of time, by historical standards, the organization has become a center of gravity. More and more countries are seeing it as a model of fair world order. "This is a world order where sovereign nations regardless of their size, military strength, and economic power are equal. The world order where every country has the right to independently choose its own path of development and pursue an independent foreign policy," Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

"BRICS is a community of the future. Due to its potential, it can end the Western dominance. The collective West has failed to take responsibility for the civilized development of international relations," the Belarusian leader stated. "The BRICS member states are able to ensure that the true levers of influence pass into the hands of the world's progressive majority."
