It recently became known that Belarusians are heading to the American city of New York.
The delegation is headed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, Maxim Ryzhenkov.
Officials from Belarus will stay in one of the largest megacities on the planet for several days – from September 26 to 29.
The press service of the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported this, noting that the purpose of the visit is to participate in the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.
Speeches by the Minister
As part of the event, Ryzhenkov is expected to speak at the general political discussion of the 79th session of the General Assembly.
In addition, his participation is planned in meetings with colleagues from CSTO member countries, ministerial meetings of the Group of Friends of the Alliance of Civilizations and in defense of the UN Charter.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that the main efforts of the Belarusian delegation will be concentrated on promoting the ideas of a multipolar world and regionalism.
Minsk will also draw the attention of the international community to the further consolidation of states advocating for the creation of a more just world order based on mutual respect and consideration of the national interests of all countries.
More than 10 meetings
Separately, the Belarusian delegation will focus on the “illegal nature and destructive consequences of the use of unilateral coercive measures by a number of countries.”
Minsk considers such actions to be pressure on sovereign states in its own interests.
In addition, it is planned to touch upon such topics as food security, historical memory in the context of the feat of the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War, and the preservation of traditional family values.
As part of the General Assembly events, the head of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry is expected to hold over 10 meetings with colleagues from Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the UN leadership, the press service summed up.
