Leaders of Belarus and Vietnam state “special urgency of issues of overcoming the unipolar structure of the world and prevention of interference into the internal affairs of sovereign states,” Interfax- Zapad informed on Monday.
“Issues of overcoming the unipolar structure of the world, prevention of interference with internal affairs of sovereign states, establishing fair relations between all states and creating conditions for their successful social and economic development have a special relevance for us,” Alyaksandr Lukashenka told during the meeting with his Vietnamese colleague Nguyen Minh Triet.
“The both our states carry out an independent foreign policy to the interest of our own nations. Because of that both Belarus and Vietnam experience strong economic and political pressure from some states pretending to the dominant role in world community,” A. Lukashenka said.
Belarus and Vietnam condemn use of unilateral economic sanctions as a means of political or economic duress. “The sides support agreement of the Non-Alignment Movement which condemns use of economic measures by one state as a means of political and economic duress, which interfere free flow of international trade, and call upon the states to refrain from their imposing and application,” the joint declaration signed by presidents of Belarus and Vietnam reads.
Vietnamese president Nguyen Minh Triet, commenting on the nature of the cooperation with Belarus at a press-conference, stated that Belarus and Vietnam do not have any difference on these issues. “I believe that Belarus and Vietnam will conduct more coordinated actions to fight some nations’ schemes to put political and economic pressure on countries that pursue independent internal and external policies,” Lukashenka said.
