Lukashenko convenes Security Council meeting

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko has convened a meeting of the Security Council as a follow-up to the new National Security Concept adopted at the recent Belarusian People's Congress. Today the Security Council is set to consider a draft regulatory act related to the assessment of national security, BelTA has learned.

“The concept has been approved. Our national strategic interests, threats, priority areas of their neutralization, the general vision of security have been defined. Everything is very clear here. The Republic of Belarus is a peaceful country, always open for equitable dialogue and mutually beneficial cooperation. We have never threatened anyone. We openly (unlike other countries) communicate our approaches to everyone. Whoever wants to hear it will hear it,” Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized.

As for the relevance of the main topic of the current meeting of the Security Council, the president said: “We have been saying that it is not enough just to enshrine certain provisions in normative legal acts. It is time to put these approaches into practice. We must have a clear picture of what is really going on inside the country and around it. Military security, economy, social welfare, policies and other sectors. We need a maximally verified and objective understanding.”
