the master was hit and said that he came up with the idea of ​​making easter eggs with nipples in this place. i have an older brother. so i understand that he was very upset. he came up with it, and the media trumpeted it. well, then you won't convince anyone. people make a request on a computer. and, well, everything jumped out, and the ideas in this work, as in any other, are the most important, but any idea here still needs to be adapted to a capricious tree, to the peculiarities of working with the smallest chips, to a huge number of subtleties that even masters cannot fully foresee with many years of experience, but this is the excitement of professions to prove, well, and not to anyone there , well, i’m not going to prove anything to anyone, in general, even close to siberia, no one will see at all. i can make and break easily.

i have to understand that i can do it all impossible maybe, if you haven't tried it, how can you say that it's impossible if you haven't done it. any country is proud that only it has it; it promotes it, as it builds its national brand on it. the whole industry is driven by tourists home souvenirs and brag that they managed to get a thing that is made in only one place on the planet. but all this could also apply to the sosh scanning of the unique belarusian art. whose secrets are kept by a few craftsmen in their workshops, such as the tesla workshop?

a big geopolitical storm has swept over the planet, the world is being redistributed, unipolarity is collapsing, the security system is in crisis, but minsk always stands on the position of peace and always offers mutually beneficial cooperation without confrontation about its real friends and partners calls for cohesion and unity that does not follow the instructions of the west, full-scale hybrid wars are unleashed. well, what's not true? this is how we all experienced it, but sometimes we do not draw conclusions from the past and the old rake. doubt is beginning to set in for us in a new way that we should stick together

the security economy. sergey fedorovich i will start with the topical and pressing issue. this year belarus is chairing the csc. and we see how many delegations of various levels come to us in general, both in the cis and in different integration structures. the president speaks of one thing, but solidarity and unity. you communicate a lot with delegations. e on the sidelines. and what prevents today from being united and united in general, there is a mood to work like that. all of my colleagues without exception. there is a clear understanding that we really must unite our efforts , that we must demonstrate solidarity, and that we must work together to find solutions to all those complex issues that are on our agenda and that concern, both the inner perimeter, the udkb, and our risks and threats that we

face on the outer contours of our organization today. e in conditions. eh, these are the challenges and threats that the dcb faces, both in the west and in the west. on the southern borders, in fact along the entire perimeter, without unity and solidarity, without joint unifying efforts, it will be difficult for us to solve the tasks that we face. here is the intensity. uh, csto events, the meaningful nature of these events clearly demonstrates the readiness of all csto member countries to promote unifying agenda and seek joint efforts. answers to those difficult questions that put before us. uh, today's difficult time, speaking of other integration formats. i would like to say that over the past year, we have been especially successful in seriously converting the potential of our economic integration cooperation within the eaeu, and helping to strengthen the economic

potential of our state. today, the share of belarus' trade with the ec countries is 65% of the total trade turnover, which we have with all countries of the world, this speaks for itself and our integration association demonstrates very good resistance to external challenges and economic risks. we are demonstrating a steady growth in the gross domestic product, a steady growth in the volume of trade , which is growing every year and, of course , we are aimed at further developing this economic integration as a priority. of course, we are now looking at issues of technological sovereignty, these issues have come to the fore of our integration education and a lot has already been done in terms of the decisions made in terms of supporting industrialization projects. you know our initiative put forward by the prime minister last year to create a eurasian electric bus. these are concrete examples of where we can use our technological and

manufacturing competencies. yes, it will allow us to create a model for the development of an electric bus throughout the entire space. uh, euroset we have grown parts. calculations of national currencies today are 2/3 of the trade turnover that exists between countries in the eu, settlements are carried out in national currencies, and we, of course, rebuilt the logistics. today we are actively using the transport corridor north, south, only for 4 months of this year. we have increased by 6 times the volume of cargo that is transshipped through the north-south transport corridor towards the countries of asia, africa and latin america speaking about security, belarus has always taken a very active position on security issues, and we do not allow ourselves to be drawn into a hot war and do everything for in order to establish the world in your opinion. why kyiv brussels today washington is simply a dynamite of the negotiation process, indeed, at all stages of this conflict, we have taken and continue to take

a peace-loving line, tuned in to the search for a mutually arbitrary peaceful solution to this conflict. i will not go deep into history. everyone perfectly remembers the agreements of 14-15 years. we remember very well, the twenty -second year of february bart, when three rounds of negotiations between russia and ukraine took place on belarusian territory and then were laid in istanbul, we are really interested in finding a peaceful way resolve this conflict and we will consistently advance this line. unfortunately countries. the west today adhere to a different logic. they still harbor illusions of defeating russia. here they are still promoting the line of continuing the armed conflict, fueling with heavy weapons and implementing a policy aimed at weakening russia, well, this is an illusion that is absolutely hopeless. we are well aware that today they are not interested in sitting down at the negotiating table themselves and

pushing ukraine to this. conditions, of course, it is very difficult to expect that this process will be restored in the near future, but you know that belarus has always stood for peace for a peaceful solution to this conflict, and for us it is absolutely unimportant whether these negotiations will be held in minsk, istanbul, beijing, ivansburg, or in the vatican the main thing is that the parties to this conflict can really sit down and agree and put an end to this conflict. sergei fyodorovich, you have been in diplomacy for more than 3 decades. if i'm not mistaken, well, we won't remember. that's all this time, but that's for last. it seems to me that the world has gone crazy for several years. we see how the world centers of power clashed, how the thermometer in general grows on the frontation, and that's it. this is around our country. that's how in this crazy world

the priorities of the foreign policy of belarus are changing . the foreign policy of belarus has always flowed from our internal policy, our fundamental interests. basic interests. always go from life to our foreign policy. never out of touch with reality. it has always been peaceful, open, accessible and honest, of course the main strategic our foreign policy priorities. there have been and remain the strengthening of the sovereignty of the independence of our state , ensuring the progressive socio-economic development of our state and society and improving the well-being of our citizens, of course, today in tactical terms. security issues come to the fore, belarus is at the epicenter of this geopolitical rift that you spoke about, asking your question, we

feel and experience all the lines of tension that are being carried out along perimeter, both in the european region and globally. and, of course, we must take these factors into account not only when building, but also strengthening the defense capability of our state. well, in our work both on the internal and on the external circuit, belarus knows very well the price of war and peace. we just noted. all people's money in memory and sorrow of the victims of the great patriotic war and the genocide of the belarusian people, therefore, our efforts today should be aimed at ensuring that there is no nato belarus remains peaceful, therefore, our main e, foreign political vectors - this is the world of creation and development. you know that we foresaw this

geopolitical confrontation long before it turned into such an armed phase and came out with a number of serious peace initiatives. i think everyone remembers very well our initiatives helsinki 2 digital neighborhood goodness belt. uh, dialogue in the spirit of san francisco, all these initiatives were put forward by the head of our state. well , unfortunately, they were not supported by western countries, we were told that it was not yet time yet. for this they came. let's wait, but the development of events that we are witnessing clearly shows the correctness and absolute accuracy of the assessment of the situation even then again 10 years ago by the head of our state. his gift of foresight of where the world is heading. that's how, uh, these processes. it could have been stopped. we are confident that sooner or later

common sense will prevail and peace will return, including to our initiatives, and we will be able to sit down at the negotiating table and calmly start discussing issues. e restoring confidence building a new architecture of european and eurasian security. and, of course , i am sure that belarus will play a very active role in these processes. we are operating in line. er, the instruction that was given by the head of state at the sixth all-belarusian meeting and naturally adapted the tactical priorities of our foreign political foreign economic activity to the main directions. they remain the same and truly strategic is the building of our relations of strategic partnership with russian federation with the people's republic of china on the part of the eurasian union on the part of the cis but more and more.

uh, attention and importance in foreign policy activities, its foreign economic activity is acquiring cooperation with the countries of asia, africa and latin america, which show an active interest in interaction not only in dialogue, but also in real cooperation in a number of areas, so we are systematically building this work and this work is producing positive results. do you know that our country's external trade balance is quite stable, we were able to withstand last year in the light of unprecedented, uh, sanctions decisions and the collective west to reorient our export flows. ah, dynamics. the beginning of this year also confirms the correctness of this course. we have already grown by 14 and a half percent. e in terms of our exports. here we are today trading with uh so 100809 strange. this is even more than the number of countries with which belarus

has established diplomatic relations so far 183 sergey fedorovich by the way, we are monitoring the geography of your visits as the head of belarusian diplomacy over the past six months , and this is just africa, this is pakistan, that is, we see these countries and skeptics often say about these countries, they say, there is nothing to catch there. and what belarusian wants to catch in these regions many people think that this is a rather distant geography asia africa but in fact it is not, because this is a strange thing that we really manage to not only find a common language and a common understanding of the current features of the development of the world. well, really build quite pragmatic mutually beneficial relationship. the fact is that today we in these countries find more understanding than in a number of our closest neighbors, to the west of brest, and this qualitatively emphasizes those opportunities. which are opening in the countries and

regions of asia and africa are not the same countries that were 50 years ago. these are modern highly developed states that also know the price of their sovereignty of their independence, who are also looking for ways to get away from mono-dependence on certain countries, uh, which are sometimes imposed on them. e not only some political line, but sometimes also an economic path of development, therefore today our interests with these countries coincide and we see really great real prospects in expanding cooperation from asia, africa and latin america. well , i will give an example, let's say pakistan, yes, that is there, er, historically yes , our tractors are well known, we have supplied tractors there and have been supplying them since 1960, at one time, the ussr , for 16 years , an assembly plant functioned in pakistan. our tractors today, pakistan is showing interest in

increasing the supply of our agricultural equipment, not only tractors, and they associate, in principle, our country with the possibilities of solving their food security issues. market capacity. pakistan to date is 60.000. this is the niche that opens up for us, it is very, very wide. another example i will give in africa today is the countries of africa, uh, the islands need agricultural technology and the islands need agricultural technology. in dire need of fertilizers in food 35% of arable land in africa is appropriately cultivated and used to grow wheat from corn and others. e cereals by and large . today, the island faces the challenge of expanding agricultural land. use of the technique of using the technology of using fertilizers. and this is a huge niche for us. for belarus, which is self-sufficient in terms of agriculture,

which actively promotes its products to foreign markets, and today we, as you know, we sell food to more than 100 countries of the world, that's why here, uh, absolutely clear synergistic uh effects emerge from cooperation with these countries. unfortunately, we see a real economic war unleashed against belarus against russia. the west does not get tired of building these sanctions intrigues. and the thread is that the diplomats are ready to react preemptively to these belarusian plans. today we are actively working. e together with the government on minimizing the consequences of the sanctions country decisions. west you know that the government has a specially conscious anti-social working group and there are operational situational headquarters, in which our ministries take an active part . this work is built on a multi-level basis and at the government level. this is at the level of our interaction with industries and at the level

of our constant interaction with business entities. our diplomats, both from the central office and from abroad, are actively involved in this work and provide, uh, assistance, uh, in resolving all of those problematic issues that arise as a result of sanctions, of course, not all issues. it can be solved at once, but in some areas it takes time and we had to make a lot of efforts in order to reorient the falling export flows from western countries and ukraine, which is about 40% of our exports, if we take last year's figures. but we were quite successful in reorienting these export flows and continue this active work together with our industries and together with our economic entities, of course, we are taking retaliatory measures. this is also part of the work that is being done, and you know that a number of decisions have been made

, including a list of unfriendly countries and restrictions on technological imports for western countries and restrictions on a whole range of food products. yes, where we look self-sufficient and simply limit the supply. you know that this week a decision was made to restrict the entry of polish trailers and semi-trailers into the territory of belarus as a response to the latest sanctions decisions of warsaw in with regard to the republic of belarus, more additional measures are being prepared, which i think that we will soon publicly learn with a light hand. so we do retaliatory measures or with a heavy soul. we do. this is very thoughtful, first of all, we evaluate economic risks and economic effects. we are absolutely not interested. with these reciprocal economic decisions, especially with these, we put ourselves a lot, as western countries do, because we are well aware that everything is unprecedented. various western sanctions, they

not only affect those countries in regarding which they take these sanctions, and the circle. these countries are expanding substantially. today it is already more than 50 countries . china and the united arab emirates are included there. iran is not only russia, belarus, therefore, these sanctions are in direct action. yes, that is, they act against very many countries, but the most important thing is that they hit like a boomerang and we see from the very authors of these sanctions that economic development in the countries of the european union in our neighboring countries, inflation is breaking records, consumer prices have risen to heaven. we see that many enterprises are curtailing their activities due to the high cost and transferring their production to other countries. the growth and energy resources and the general deterioration in the living conditions of the population are in european politics by and large. today, cut off from its people, and of course, probably the screen at a certain stage will sober up its politicians, and

we see already emerging processes of protests in the countries of the european union that are gaining momentum. we see, as it were, the growth of the popularity of parties that are anti-social line, which advocate the resumption of dialogue on and sustainable development. and i hope that these processes, yes, that is, they will go from below, because today's european politics, in my opinion, is dopey and sanctions have become the main tool of european and american diplomacy today. this is like such a favorite toy, yes hmm, an alternative that they unfortunately cannot find, therefore, sooner or later this question. uh will become more acute in the european, primarily the continent yes, which today really is experiencing a very severe recession and very serious economic consequences. well , the most, of course, it is sad that the sanctions that are found.

spokes and americans in relation to our countries, they actually hit all the countries of the world without exception, these are sanctions of indirect, but indirect action, let's call it that, because, well, in the course of my trips we enter my contacts in asian countries in countries e, africa and with the leadership of foreign policy views from latin america , we clearly see the concerns of these countries. well , i'm not talking about food. safety. eh, this is generally a sphere that today, in my understanding, should deserve the closest attention and universal international organizations. and we are grateful that the secretary general of the united nations is on our offer. uh, responds and really tries to advance this agenda. well, almost all organizations are signaling this today, and he and the faao, and amber and the wto, and many countries of the world, especially in africa and in asia and latin america, which will directly collide. with

today, 800 million people are starving in the world. 3 billion people, according to the available statistics, the fao does not have access to quality food, that is, these figures speak for themselves and all the talk of our lithuanian neighbors that belarus does not play a significant role in ensuring food security. e countries of the global south. they are insignificant, because i have already said, we are exporting our superproducts to the table of countries of the world. you know that the volume of exports exceeds 8 billion. you know that we have twenty percent of the world's potash reserves. fertilizers that go to all corners of the world and that ensure food security, and we clearly see in the framework of our contacts from africa, especially yes, that is, a really urgent need, as in fertilizers such as in agricultural technologies, these are the supplies that block us our neighbors, if we talk about international. tours then, here is the un osce we see that they are turning from

essentially platforms for dialogue into platforms and tools for pressure and confrontation, the last uh, the decision on belarus and not getting into the un security council is a confirmation of how the foreign ministry reacts to such politicized decisions and what our line will be in these international structures. today we are witnessing an extreme polarization, an extreme politicization of many venues. it also applies to human rights. yes , where actually the western countries use the platform simply as their political tool, trying to e. punish countries that pursue an independent foreign policy that pursue their sovereign line. as within their own countries, so and in the international arena. here, we see the politicization of the international labor organization, yes, which, logically, should protect the interests of the workers, but in reality. the last decision says absolutely the opposite.

and this is, well, a complete degradation of both the organization itself, and even the substantive work that this organization has been carrying out for many years in terms of, indeed, the development of a tripartite dialogue between the governments of workers and employers, the level of socio-economic development in our country is absolutely not taken into account. country, the level of uh social and economic rights that the citizens of belarus today have and the level of development of the trade union movement, so it is sad that this degradation is really taking place. and, of course, we will continue to work on the platforms, still promoting a unifying agenda and promoting an honest view of the world and all our proposals that are aimed at restoring a fair world order and a fair nature of international relations. today we are actually forced to talk about the democratization of international relationships, because he is on the face of the floor. in implementation, there is a complete dictate that western

countries use on international platforms in order to push through, i’m not afraid of this word. uh, any solution of russian interests, therefore , there is no end to the work here, and we will systematically carry out this work together with our allies , together with like-minded countries, belarus is included in a strange group. uh protection, the un charter and it's work, of course it will. i think that in the coming years it will grow stronger sergey fedorovich you have been working for a very long time. uh, in europe in the west. today there is someone to talk to. more importantly, is it really necessary to do this? i think it's necessary to talk. always and everywhere, because there is no alternative to dialogue in the absence of dialogue, confrontation will only intensify and acquire even more sophisticated forms. and we, of course, must make efforts, we are working for the diplomatic service. yes, in order to still build a channel for

channel communication and dialogue, yes, and to promote a truly positive agenda. where this is, perhaps, where it is impossible, of course, we are forced to respond, yes , that is, to die, appropriate measures that correspond to our fundamental national interest, and which, as it were , ensures the protection of the sovereignty of the independence of our state, so today i will say a small part er, european political action. yes, with whom you can talk, we did not stop contacts with europe. of course, today they are very precise. well, let me give you an example of hungary. you know that my colleague in february, we held a full round with him. e negotiations. on the whole range of our bilateral economic agenda, the interaction of international organizations discussed the regional situation, and in april we held an intergovernmental commission. yes, that is, perhaps this is the first country in the european union yes, with which we have managed, in principle, to restore these formats of interaction and

successfully implement them. moreover, there are quite good prospects looming there in terms of economic cooperation, and we have been doing this work and will continue to do so, and in general, we have a very clear direction of the head of our state. uh, in terms of our economic presence, the president clearly said that there is no need to leave the markets of europe, relatives, where it is possible that we should preserve and where it is possible to press our presence by reception, therefore this work is being carried out, work is being carried out along the lines of business unions. this is probably the most today. ah, an accessible formula. uh, interactions with european countries. we keep in touch and with uh, political level and think tanks, and i hope sooner or later. we can. although, of course, we have learned serious lessons from our previous experience of interaction with

the european union. and, of course, we will take them very seriously in our further work with them. in her message, the president quite emotionally said that if the twentieth year had not happened in belarus, then it would just have to be invented. what lessons did you learn for yourself and the events of 2020 years to talk about the lessons. i would, probably looked back even more back, but the last decades, yes, which preceded, uh, the twentieth year, when we are really in the foreign political. uh, the circuit managed to, uh, quite successfully line up. uh, such a multi-vector interaction with our strategic partners. then, as i spoke about, russia , the eurasian countries, the people's republic of china, we actively developed cooperation with countries in the far arc. we actively engaged in dialogue and cooperation with the countries of the european union. and even the usa and this cooperation was built according to plan. here we have reached the stage when almost all

restrictive measures and all sanctions against the republic of belarus were either canceled or suspended. this collaboration really confirmed. yes, belarus occupies a worthy place in the system of international relations and evenly develops relations with all the centers of the big world, but we were constantly told by european partners that we would be interested in supporting and strengthening and sovereignty of this independence of your country. this is emphasized at various levels. you know that there have been a lot of visits, including high-level and country visits. the alpine union of the united states but the events of the twentieth year showed how hypocritical was the policy of the countries of the western attitude of our country. i think that not only we saw it , the whole world saw it. and for us today it is absolutely obvious. whatever arrangements

we u can have, uh, with strange traps, they have a limited shelf life. pardon this expression, so we will take these lessons into account when building of our further dialogue on the part of the european union with the strange west and as a human being, i think that every self-respecting belarusian asked himself a simple but very important question where does the motherland begin and the motherland begins with sovereignty and independence, which we were able to defend because i i am sure that every self-respecting belarusian in no way wanted our country to pass from external control. and if the event of the twentieth year had gone differently, then it would have been exactly like this, therefore, of course, a strong country is a strong leader belarus demonstrated his ability to resist the most sophisticated. the challenges and threats that we faced in

the twentieth year successfully overcome them and calmly move on. we have learned these lessons. i think the whole world has learned these lessons. and what is the number one question for the minister of foreign affairs of belarus today - is the protection of the sovereignty and independence of our state with all the available means that we have in the foreign ministry. not only in the central office in our institutions abroad. i think that it is this is the basis, yes, which actually today should be the number one issue for every diplomat. history nature
