Lukashenko gave friendly advice to Pakistanis: take care of your country
Only those countries that are united will survive in a turbulent and daily changing world, President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko said during today’s meeting with journalists after his talks with Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad
After his speech, Aleksandr Lukashenko, as an experienced and wise politician and statesman, allowed himself to give personal friendly advice to the leadership of Pakistan and the entire Pakistani people, “For me, Pakistan is not something far away. It is a very close and friendly country for us. Nawaz and I once agreed to intensify our relations, and we have done a lot since then. We are always concerned about what is happening in Pakistan. We were worried about you when the terrible flood happened. We are very worried about you if something happens here that is not supposed to happen in your society. We are also very concerned and worried about all the things that are going on today.”
It is no secret that the internal political situation in Pakistan has recently caused some concern. Opposition protests are taking place in the cities, and the police have had to use force to subdue the rioters. The situation in the country has not been stable in this respect in the past years. In this regard, Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that ‘there are scary changes in the world today, which have not happened for the last few centuries’, “The world is very turbulent, with changes happening every day. In this difficult time, only those countries will survive that will be united and whose people will be worried about the future of their country. There is a redistribution of the world. Strong, rich countries clashed in this ironclad fight. There are more than 50 wars and conflicts in the world today. There is a fierce struggle for leadership today, tomorrow and in the future. Your country, as a giant country, the fifth most populous in the world, is naturally involved in this whirlpool. You are well aware of Pakistan’s position in the international arena. You know what Pakistan wants. However, what you want is not in line with the desires of the major countries that are fighting for leadership nowadays. The US, the UK, India, Australia, (Japan and South Korea may join in) want to create a kind of Pacific NATO here, in the Pacific region. Pakistan, which wants to develop peacefully, may not be interested in this. So you will be rocked, you’re going to be under a lot of pressure. And the main thing I want to say (this already concerns the population) is to take care of your country. If you preserve it, you will have a place to live. If you do not preserve it, you will be in trouble. This is my friendly advice to you.”
