The Possible Role of Belarus

Published: 26 March 2003 y., Wednesday
Belarusian President Alyaksandr Lukashenka on 24 March met with newly appointed Foreign Minister Syarhey Martynau and newly appointed Ambassador to the U.S. Mikhail Khvastou. "I think that the U.S. and U.K. need today to look for an honorable way out of the existing situation before it's too late. I am convinced, Syarhey Mikalayevich [Martynau] and Mikhail Mikhaylavich [Khvastou], that we can play a principal and significant role in steering them out of the existing situation," Lukashenka said. Asked what role Belarus could play to this end, Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrey Savinykh told that the ministry is working on some proposals, but refused to elaborate.
