Belarus is quite interested in successful cooperation without conflicts with other countries. President Aleksander Lukashenko reported that as quoted by BELTA news agency.
"In consideration of its complicated history and geopolitical location, our country is very interested in non-contentious cooperation with other countries, including the Western ones", he said.
According to Lukashenko, in the dialogue with partners, Belarus clings to the principles of openness, decency, and equality of rights.
Any sort of pressure on us, all the more introduction of some sanctions... I claim this frankly and openly: similar responses will follow, and they will be even more painful for the European community. This is why we should not be taking this path", Lukashenko said.
