It is a very difficult path to go through when moving towards a multipolar world – as stated by the President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, during his today’s meeting with the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ali Akbar Ahmadian.
Welcoming the guest at the Palace of Independence, the Head of State thanked him for the visit and noted, “Your visit is important also because – by the will of fate, maybe, as you say, it all comes from Allah – we are now in the same boat and absolutely do not regret it.”
The President clarified, “They are trying to lie away our reputation in the media. We understand this, we are experienced people. There is an information confrontation, maybe even with elements of information wars. Nevertheless, we still manage to cope with sanctions and other pressure.”
The Head of State touched upon the topic of the recent tragic event, “The Iranian people have recently experienced a great grief: your president died, but you have bravely passed this period and elected a new leader. I congratulate you on this, and I want you to tell your President that we are waiting for him in Belarus.”
Aleksandr Lukashenko also noted the tense situation in the regions where Belarus and Iran are located, “At a time of acute military and political situation in the Middle East, near the borders of Belarus, in this European region – and you are seriously involved in the conflict – we do not just need consultations, we need joint actions with your country. We are moving towards a multipolar world. It will be a very difficult path. Fortunately, Iran and other countries understand this well.”
The President stated, “In this difficult situation of confrontation, security issues come to the fore.”
The Head of State also noted the importance of recent integration processes, “New organisations such as BRICS and the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation, of which we have recently become a full member, are gaining very serious momentum. In this regard, I would like to thank Iran for the tremendous support that you provided us when joining the SCO.”
