Parliamentary diplomacy is a key tool for building trust between states – Rachkov

Chairman of the Standing Committee of the House of Representatives on International Affairs Sergey Rachkov on the sidelines of the 153rd Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Tanzania made a report on “Improving the effectiveness of public administration and expanding public opportunities through inclusiveness, trust and ensuring equal opportunities”. This is reported by the correspondent of sb.by.

The main criterion for the effectiveness of any model of public administration is its ability to ensure long-term stability, quickly adapt to new challenges and make tough decisions in crisis circumstances. Sergey Rachkov noted that the fundamental principles of the modern Belarusian model and our social system were formulated by the President more than three decades ago. Over the years, Belarus has emerged as a sovereign, independent power that is confidently pursuing its own path.

- The state for the people is not just a beautiful slogan, but a postulate of the Constitution, legislation and a practical requirement for the work of the entire state apparatus. It is the interests of a person, the protection of his rights, the provision of a decent life and the solution of everyday problems of citizens are the most important guidelines of public administration. Belarus consistently implements this important principle enshrined in the Sustainable Development Goals. Ensuring absolutely equal starting conditions for each citizen is the unshakable basis of our entire social policy, said Sergey Rachkov.

The parliamentarian outlined a specific tool – the strategy being implemented in our country is aimed at bridging the gap in the quality of life between the capital, large cities on the one hand and rural areas on the other. In his speech, Sergey Rachkov noted that the experience of Belarus proves that inclusiveness is not just a social charity, but a long-term investment in the stability of the state.

- The values of social justice, preservation of historical memory and traditions are broadcast through state institutions, which acts as a consolidating factor for Belarusian society. In this process, the Parliament of the Republic of Belarus plays a special role. Laws cover all spheres of life. The social orientation and evolutionary approach of recent years have allowed us to preserve civil peace and go through the difficult path of formation of the national economy without any shock therapy and shocks.

Sergey Rachkov also added that the most important vectors were strengthening the control functions of the Parliament and systematic work with the population.

The Parliament of the Republic of Belarus considers parliamentary diplomacy as one of the key tools for reducing international tensions and strengthening trust between states. Belarusian parliamentarians stand for the preservation of equal and mutually respectful dialogue, offering answers to global challenges based on the principles of justice. The Parliament of Belarus develops on the basis of its own traditions, its understanding of the world and exclusively in the interests of its people. This is 100 percent in line with the spirit of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the oldest organization that allows us to find solutions despite any interstate disagreement. Our voice on the platform of the Inter-Parliamentary Union sounds confident, weighty and reasoned. We are demonstrating real, working experience in building a strong, independent and truly socially responsible state. At the heart of human rights and interests.
