Minsk is hosting the Summer Session of OSCE
Parliamentary Assembly. About 700 delegates from 57 states are discussing
pressing challenges and threats. The agenda of the session comprises reports of
three general committees: on political affairs and security; on economic
affairs, science, technology, and environment; on democracy, human rights, and
humanitarian affairs. For Belarus
this is not just a hallmark event. Today our country will present its
resolution on timely and effective measures to respond to the emergence of new
psychoactive substances. Today, on the sidelines of the session the Belarusian
delegation will also partake in the discussions of initiatives to fight human
trafficking.
