Lukashenko: Belarus is part of the Global Majority

Lukashenko: "Many of you represent states of the Global Majority, whose role in international affairs is rapidly and, most importantly, deservedly growing. Countries within it share similar approaches to world order, building partnerships, and conflict resolution. They are characterized by respect for national sovereignty, rejection of pressure, diktat, and illegal sanctions.

Belarus rightfully considers itself part of this Global Majority. Our history, the heroic and at the same time tragic experience of resisting numerous attempts at colonization and destruction of the Belarusian people, has predetermined the exceptional importance for us of independence and the right 'to be called people,' as the Belarusian classic said.

I am confident that the common views of the Global Majority countries will be a good foundation for your successful mission in our country."
