FM: Belarus eager to team up with NAM countries to build multipolar world order

Belarus, together with its partners in the Non-Aligned Movement, needs to be at the forefront of efforts to shape a multipolar world order, promote common sense and justice in the world, Belarusian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Aleinik said in an interview with BelTA. «If the powers that be listened more to the voice of small and medium-sized states, then we probably would not have such a host of problems today,» Sergei Aleinik said. «We think that time has come for Belarus, together with its partners in the Non-Aligned Movement, to pitch in and be at the forefront of the fight for multipolar world order, common sense and justice in the world.» During the NAM Ministerial Meeting held in Baku in early July, Belarus traditionally put forward a number of initiatives that «correspond to the spirit of the organization and the spirit of the times and that are aimed at ensuring a more harmonious development of international relations and finding ways to solve global challenges and problems that humanity is facing today,” Sergei Aleinik noted. »Almost all of our initiatives found universal support among the NAM member countries," Sergei Aleinik said.

For example, at the initiative of Belarus and a number of other countries, the consolidated approaches of the NAM member countries against unilateral coercive measures and sanctions were reflected in the final declaration. «The unacceptability of the use of such tools in international politics was emphasized,» the minister said. “Separately, we highlighted the topic of food security, which today is a very important matter for the Global South.

Unilateral measures and sanctions have a direct impact on food security in many countries and regions. Our partners are in solidarity.
