What contribution Belarus makes to the creation of a new world, Ryzhenkov told in New York

At the general discussion on “Rebuilding Trust, Managing Transformation: The United Nations Working for All” held on September 26 at the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Belarusian Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov explained why Belarus criticizes the United Nations and explained what contribution Belarus is trying to make to the creation of a new world.

“The Republic of Belarus is a founding country of the UN,” he said. We were the founders of this organization in 1945. It is therefore very painful for us to see the Organization weaken. Therefore, we criticize her constructively, wish her recovery and gaining a second breath. We are convinced that the UN should remain the main universal forum for addressing common challenges.

In these circumstances, Belarus is contributing to the creation of a new world, he stressed. The first point is food security:

- We are successfully developing and making a significant contribution to ensuring global food security. Belarus remains a reliable supplier of fertilizers, high-quality food – meat, dairy products, grain for Africa, Asia and Latin America. We are doing this despite logistical barriers, financial restrictions, and a transport blockade imposed by the European Union.

Maxim Ryzhenkov reminded about the peaceful role of our country:

- Belarus has always been and remains a country of peace. We have proved our ability to act as a reliable negotiating platform. We are ready to continue doing everything possible to achieve peace in Ukraine as soon as possible. But let's be frank: any sustainable peace in this country is impossible without addressing the root causes that have been ignored for years. This includes plans to include Ukraine in NATO despite all the realities of security, and the failure to implement the Minsk agreements, which were the only legitimate path to peace. Let me remind you that the implementation of these agreements was sabotaged in order to prolong the time and allow Ukraine to rearm. This was recognized by all Western politicians recently. The endless pumping of weapons into Ukraine leads only to the destruction of Ukraine and its people. We call for the early commencement of real negotiations leading to sustainable peace.

The Belarusian Foreign Minister called the Eurasian security architecture the third point:

- Our special priority is ensuring Eurasian security. Since 2023, we have successfully held an international conference on this topic in our capital, where experts from different parts of Eurasia discuss ways to solve the problems of our continent. We are successfully promoting the idea of developing a Eurasian Charter for Diversity and Multipolarity in the XXI century. This initiative is an attempt to create a new architecture of equal and indivisible security across our vast continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Another factor is our openness to dialogue.

- We are ready to cooperate with all interested countries, Maxim Ryzhenkov summed up. We are leaving an open window for those Western politicians who are really ready for an equal dialogue. But there are things that are unacceptable to us: pressure, dictates, ultimatums and illegal sanctions. Ryzhenkov: trust between states is at its lowest point since the Cold War
