Lukashenko on the formation of new centres of power
The countries of the EAEU, CIS, SCO, and BRICS should move more actively towards becoming new pillars of the multipolar world – as stated today by the President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, during his meeting with journalists of foreign and Belarusian media
The Belarusian leader underlined, “Our whole trouble is that if we go, then we do it very timidly. At the Eurasian Economic Forum in Moscow, I said that Russia needs to show itself more actively. We (the countries of the post-Soviet space) are not very scattered, therefore, the post-Soviet space can still be consolidated and united. Who can do this? First of all, Russia. Russia is the future of the planet. Russia boasts huge resources and breakthrough technologies: space, nuclear energy, weapons, etc. There are many things we can produce. The post-Soviet space is not just a storehouse of resources, but also a storehouse of high technologies. We just need to do more in terms of unification. If we are pulled apart, they will sort it out one by one. Belarus and Russia understood this and are ready to act in this direction. As far as EAEU, BRICS and SCO are concerned, if the God brought us all together ... all issues would have been settled. The world would have moved here.”
According to Aleksandr Lukashenko, there are still contradictions between countries in integration associations, “However, there’s also something in common. The core of these organisations are the same countries: Russia, China, India. There is the Silk Road, as well as other initiatives that hold together and unite. There are huge interests. We must move in this direction. And if we move, we need to do it faster.”
