Lukashenko’s Address at Belarusian People’s Congress was a powerful call to action

Sergei Aleinik took part in the session. In his view, the implementation of domestic development priorities outlined in the President’s Address and the five-year social and economic development program will largely depend on the country’s foreign activities.


“The head of state paid special attention to the international vector of relations and emphasized that Belarus is always open to dialogue with foreign partners and cooperation at any level, including parliamentary. But it must be a mutually respectful dialogue, a conversation on equal terms,” Sergei Aleinik stressed. “Yes, Belarus has its own path of development, its own course, along which the country is confidently moving forward and achieving significant results.”


He highlighted the importance of further focusing on deepened cooperation with integration associations. Today, the economic and geopolitical balance is shifting decisively toward the Global East and South, and Belarus is part of this system. The future of a multipolar world lies with groupings such as BRICS, SCO, and the EAEU, within which Belarus is building effective multilateral and bilateral cooperation. Notably, Belarus increased the share of distant countries in its exports from 11% in 2021 to 20% in 2024. The clear goal is that one-third of Belarusian exports should find buyers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
