Lukashenko: We need a new system of international relations

MINSK, 18 May (BelTA) – We need a new system of international relations, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with the participants of the Council of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly on 18 May, BelTA has learned.

“We should concentrate our efforts on forming a new system of international relations, if we look far ahead. It should be based on universally recognized norms and principles of international law, and not on some ‘rules’ that the West is trying to force on us,” the head of state said. “They keep accusing us that the elections were not based on some OSCE principles. Where are these principles? Who approved these principles? Where are they? There are only ‘rules’ that they set up and change depending on a state and an event,” he added.

Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that most countries, which include the CSTO member states, see the best prospects for the development of a multi-polar world.

Belarus intends to continue to promote the principles of a just and multi-polar world, to help develop reliable guarantees to ensure both collective security and stability, and the security of each member of the international community.
