Minsk’s cooperation with the Global Majority countries is bringing positive results

Belarus can develop without close cooperation with the EU and Germany in particular. There are almost no critical dependencies left. Deputy Foreign Minister of Belarus Igor Secreta said this at a meeting with German politicians and activists representing the federal state of Brandenburg.

- The economy of the country is steadily showing positive dynamics. Macroeconomic, financial and, importantly, social stability are preserved. In 2024, the country's GDP grew by 4%, in 2025 - by 1.3%, in the first 8 months of 2026 - by 1.9%. Gold and foreign exchange reserves are at a record level, as are real incomes of the population. Inflation and unemployment have recently reached such indicators that these topics have practically ceased to interest the population. Yes, sanctions hinder our development and are unpleasant. But time has shown that Belarus can develop without close cooperation with the EU and Germany in particular. There are almost no critical dependencies left.

The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus drew the attention of the participants of the meeting that the world is great, and the strengthening of cooperation between Minsk and the countries of the global majority brings positive results.

Does Europe still think it is isolating us? I bet. Europe is pursuing a policy of isolation from the world, and its consequences are already visible, including on the streets. In recent years, official Berlin has done much to destroy Germany’s reputation in our country. Restoring trust will not be easy, he said.

Igor Secreta also thanked the deputy of the Landtag of Brandenburg from the Union of Sarah Wagenknecht party Hornauf Sven and his party for the initiative to organize this trip and the signal that it sends to the Belarusian society.

- We know that despite the completely unscrupulous anti-Belarusian propaganda and streams of lies in the German media about Belarus, there are many people with critical thinking and real friends of Belarus in Germany. I hope that this trip will make an important contribution to the restoration of Belarusian-German contacts and mutual trust, to strengthening the ties of friendship between Belarusians and Germans.

Igor Secreta wished all participants of the trip a pleasant and useful stay in our country, warm meetings and open communication. He also suggested exchanging ideas on how to change the current state of affairs and direct Belarusian-German relations in a constructive direction.
