Russia concerned about external pressure on Belarus

Beltae_E_en 30-JAN-08

[-said]: Although slowly but we are making progress in addressing this issue. This work is very important because this is the area where citizens of our country will be able to feel real benefits of our cooperation,

Belta_en 09-JUL-10

[ said]: As CSTO member-states Belarus and Russia are interested in getting the situation in Kyrgyzstan stabilized as soon as possible as well as in legitimizing its new leadership,

Belta_en 22-JUN-10

[ said]: Belarus has no special policy for Kyrgyzstan President Kurmanbek Bakiyev,

Belta_en 22-JUN-10

[-said]: The Eastern Partnership is more than a political project, it is a comprehensive program meant to benefit regions and people living in these regions,

Belta_en 25-MAY-10

[-concluded]: We would like to see a clear, practical result of this work,

Belta_en 25-MAY-10

[-said]: We believe it is logic to include such partners of Belarus as Russia and Kazakhstan, Turkey. Belarus also proposes to make international financial institutions the members of the group of friends,

Belta_en 25-MAY-10

[-said]: The matter concerns those states which are neither the participants of the Eastern Partnership initiative nor the members of the European Union, but, due to the geographic and some other factors, are interested in such cooperation,

Belta_en 25-MAY-10

[-said]: The subject and the purpose of the meeting was to review the first year of the work of the Eastern Partnership initiative. An extensive discussion was held. The meeting was informal, therefore there were no ceremonial statements, the participants focused on the analysis of the situation,

Belta_en 25-MAY-10

[-said]: Due to our consistency in the issue, we are interested in the practical content of the EU’s Eastern Partnership, i.e. concrete projects that can benefit its member-states, not simply a political slogan,

Belta_en 25-MAY-10

[-said]: This status provides the possibility for interested states and organizations to connect to the SCO activity in certain areas, to participate in working meetings and groups

[ said]: I hope today’s event is not the last one in cultural relations between Belarus and France this year,

Belta_en 30-MAR-10

[ said]: Of course, Russia is closer. And our work with Venezuela on the issues of oil and gas does not mean that we are trying to get away from our natural ally, from our main ally, from our principal ally to the important strategic partner,but located somewhere beyond the Pale land

telegraf 26-MAR-10

[-added]: Although we know him very well,

Belta_en 26-MAR-10

[ said]: The heads of state after the meeting adopted a joint declaration, which dealt with many aspects, including mutual support of initiatives in international organizations. Brazil supported Belarusian initiative on prevention of human trafficking, access to alternative and renewable energy, development of interreligious and cultural dialogue. Belarus for its part supports Brazil in many endeavors and have similar positions on UN reform

telegraf 23-MAR-10

[ said]: Significant prospects are opened in the chemical industry. Belarus already supplies to Brazil tires in a big volume, and in the long term plans to increase the volume of these supplies. Brazil as a country with developed agriculture is interested in further supplies of potash from Belarus. Our country already shares a third of the Brazilian market supply of potash fertilizers, and this cooperation will continue

telegraf 23-MAR-10

[-said]: It may be said that Belarus has opened not only a new page in the relations with Latin America but also found a new cooperation area with a strategically important country both of this region and the global economy,

Belta_en 23-MAR-10

[-said]: We are opening the economy to foreign investment,

TurkishDailyNews 08-FEB-10

[-said]: we work to have a much better relationship with the European Union than we had before,

TurkishDailyNews 08-FEB-10

[-said]: It is nice that you have come to Belarus. Your visit demonstrates the high level and large scale of Belarusian-Iranian relations and the new stage of a closer all-round cooperation,

Belta_en 29-JAN-10

[-said]: You are experiencing deep immersion into the Belarusian theme these days and we are confident that you will successfully master it. We have big challenging tasks ahead. Therefore it is important that our friends are intimately familiar with the subject,

Belta_en 29-JAN-10

[said that:]: Belarus expects Kazakhstan to take into account the position from which the CIS and the CSTO nominated it for OSCE chairmanship

jamestown 06-JAN-10

[-said]: First of all, the European Commission should prepare a mandate for the negotiations on visa facilitation. It later should be submitted to the EU Council, and the negotiations will follow then,

Belta_en 14-DEC-09

[-said]: Discrimination of Belarusian citizens in the EU entry regime cannot be considered as acceptable within the Eastern Partnership,

Belta_en 14-DEC-09

[-said]: We stand for a truly inclusive approach based on the account of opinions of all participating states, inviolability of the consensus principle and equal significance of all three dimensions of security. Within the framework of a new round of the Corfu Process we propose to address as first-priority issues the ways of updating the Vienna Document of 1999 and restoring the viability of the CFE Treaty in Europe,

Belta_en 02-DEC-09

[-noted]: We welcome in this context the fact of recent promulgation by the Russian side of the draft Treaty and are ready to work on it. Our Organization, the OSCE, despite some crisis phenomena related to the incompleteness of the reform and imbalance in its activity, remains as before an important venue for addressing the European security issues in general. The last year’s ministerial meeting in Helsinki and the informal meeting of OSCE Foreign Ministers in Corfu in June have confirmed this status,

Belta_en 02-DEC-09

[ said]: The current OSCE Ministerial is taking place against the background of a more intensified dialogue on how to overcome an acute deficit and fragmentation of security, lack of sustainability and stability that have been building up in recent years in Euro-Atlantic space,

Belta_en 02-DEC-09

[-said]: We believe that human dimension activities of the OSCE, following economic and environmental ones, need serious optimization. This should not be some cosmetic half measures, but a whole set of balanced and important decisions,

Belta_en 02-DEC-09

[-said]: The idea to hold in 2010 a meeting at the level of the OSCE and other international organizations' leadership, dealing with issues of security, such as CSTO, CIS, EU and NATO, is expedient as never before. To use the capacity of such cooperation in full it is essential to engage the parliamentary dimension in the discussion on European security. Therefore we propose to convene a parliamentary conference with participation of the aforementioned organizations at the level, for example, of relevant commissions

Belta_en 02-DEC-09

[-said]: The joint programme on coordinated foreign policy activities for 2010-2011 will be send for approval to the Supreme State Council of the Union State and become an official document,

Belta_en 25-NOV-09

[-said]: Taking into consideration the current situation in Ukraine, Belarus has given it humanitarian aid which includes disposable medical products that are urgently needed to overcome the short period of the peak of disease,

Belta_en 06-NOV-09

[noted that:]: there is a good basis for moving forward

Belta_en 21-OCT-09

[-said]: We are speaking here about certain things that will be done at the regional level within the framework of this program. For us, the states-partners, this is the core of the program,

Belta_en 19-OCT-09

[-said]: Today Belarus has an opportunity to take part in the ecological dimension of the program. Yet, Finland will campaign for Belarus’ full involvement in all aspects of work within the framework of the Northern Dimension activity,

Belta_en 19-OCT-09

[-said]: Finland, as an EU member-state, will campaign for the abolishment of travel ban, which is now suspended, and development of the legal base of the EU-Belarus relations, which includes, in particular, ratification of the agreement on partnership and cooperation with Belarus, liberalization of visa formalities and reduction of visa costs for Belarusians, relaxing the trade regime with our country,

Belta_en 19-OCT-09

[-added]: We asked Finland to step up effort on these issues. We do not sit on our hands either. As early as in February this year, ahead of the official start of the Eastern Partnership Program, Belarus and the neighboring countries started working on certain projects which could be continued within the Eastern Partnership Program,

Belta_en 19-OCT-09

[-said]: Now we can proceed to the elaboration of this plan – we have received mandate from the Chairman of the General Assembly,

Belta_en 29-SEP-09

[-added]: This year we plan to discuss this matter more thoroughly,

Belta_en 29-SEP-09

[-said]: Our proposal was heard and upheld, though we encountered certain difficulties as not all states acknowledged the necessity to step up cooperation in this issue,

Belta_en 29-SEP-09

[-said]: We really hope that this statement signals practical actions,

Belta_en 29-SEP-09

[ said]: It has been widely discussed as part of topical debates at the UN General Assembly in June and it is a good beginning, however, it is necessary to resolutely move forward,
