the deadlines are very strict, so to speak. but we will do everything within the established deadlines. the azarichi memorial project includes a museum, a wall of mourning, a monument to military doctors and tower of memory. the smallest monument in belarus was installed in gomel, what does it look like? this laundry soap is made of brass in its standard form. it was installed at the gomel fat plant. the opening ceremony was timed to coincide with world clean hands day and the week of parental love. by the way, the top product has been produced at the enterprise for 90 years. we also analyzed the situation in the republic of belarus in that the smallest monument is 15 cm. it is located in minsk. our soap is made from an original piece of laundry soap 250 g. 6 by 9 cm. we plan to include this record in our national book of records of belarus. negotiations with the management of the book are already on this topic, they liked the idea, so we will move on. after the opening of the smallest monument,

a series of negotiations with representatives of asia, africa and latin america. each meeting marked a new stage in bilateral relations and became another step towards building a multipolar world. stop in more detail. relations between minsk and caracas have passed development has already taken place over more than twenty years, but during this period difficulties have been observed; alexander lukashenko pointed out what both countries should do in the near future at a reception with the minister of foreign affairs of venezuela at the palace of independence. in our cooperation, we have known each other for a long time and have done a lot. at one time, in order to intensify our interaction, due to certain external, primarily reasons, we had some kind of pause in interaction

, we need to revise all those areas of questions cooperation, which we have been defining since the time of ugacanis, to clearly determine what we should and can do for venezuela. what should venezuela do in relation to belarus? develop an appropriate plan, a road map of our actions for the near , medium, and perhaps long term. about what cooperation with belarus means for venezuela, what the latin american country has gone through on the path of its economic development, how the united states manages international institutions, is capable of saving the world, why nazism and fascism has not yet been eradicated, we will talk about this and more with the minister of foreign affairs of venezuela ivan helpinto on issue number

one. hello, mr. minister, in the plan for the economic and social development of venezuela until 2025, paragraph 4-3-1 says that belarus is considered, along with russia, china, turkey and iran, as a strategic partner, mr. minister, please tell me the plan was adopted in 2019, can we already talk about achieving certain goals? yes, belarus is a strategic partner of venezuela. not only because we are talking about this in terms of the development of the homeland, which is the law of the land, but because we were able to build with belarus an entire system, an infrastructure to support production, to support trade, to support construction, to

support government services, which is completely functioning. for example, we are talking about building thousands of houses within our missionenda venezuela, for venezuelan men. and women, we are talking about the creation of machine-building factories, factories for the production of tractors, trucks, infrastructure for the production of building materials, investments in agriculture, in other words , what advantages does this partnership give to both

countries. venezuela and belarus have two complementary economies. first, there are emerging market countries that need their economies to work in a coordinated manner. this is what concerns the economic sphere. for belarus, venesula is the gateway to latin america, for its goods, for its culture, for its development. don't we talk about venezuela as very influential country in latin america, which can be or is the best partner of belarus in our region, and for venezuela, belarus is the gateway to eurasia, which we are developing. we are working towards integration as observers in the eurasian economic community. this is of fundamental importance. thus, in the economic issue we have very clear, very subtle, very obvious. complementarity in the eyes of all venezuelans and belarusians.

but more importantly, the economic issue is a political issue: venezuela and belarus share principles in many areas. respect for sovereignty, self-determination of peoples, non-interference in internal affairs, human rights, minority rights, all this adds up to a necessary strategic partnership, which we will continue to strengthen. and finally, there is the issue of culture, which is also extremely important. necesaria y que vamos seguir fortaleciendo de aquí en adelante, tenemos una serie de estudiantes que han pasado. we have a number of students who have come to belarus and are studying here at universities and graduate schools, their the number will grow. we are also working to improve russian language teaching in venezuela, and exchanges in the fields of communication, culture and sports are also areas that will strengthen this

strategic alliance. venezuela's economic growth rates exceed those of other countries in the region, while the us and its accomplices have imposed more than 930 unilateral coercive measures on venezuela, how is it possible to maintain the pace of development? venezuela is implementing a strategy to counter sanctions with very creative approach, with great patience and great strength, which gave us the economic results that we see today. last year, economic growth was 15%. and this year we will support it, as always, we are making very great progress in our economy, despite the sanctions applied by the united states and its allies. first: what we see is the readiness of the people to resist the most severe

attacks to which our republic has been subjected throughout its history. our oil revenues were taken away, we lost 99% foreign exchange earnings from the sale of petroleum products. our foreign assets were taken away, our ability to negotiate with the world was taken away. in other words, everything that could be done to the country was done to ensure that it fell apart. oil in venezuela was discovered already in 1914, serious development began 6 years later , most oil giants intended to extract black gold over the years, it is not surprising, the climate in the country is favorable, the coastline is almost 3,000 km, it opens access to the ports of the northern and south america, africa and europe. during the first 15 years of production, oil turned into the main export product of venezuela, and companies such as

the british shell bp and total, the american connacow philips xson mobile, and the norwegian state oil were every now and then responsible for its... hummock. in the seventies, against the backdrop of a sharp rise in prices for petroleum products , venezuela managed to create its own company , petrolios do venezula, and already in the seventy- sixth , the oil industry and railways were nationalized in the country. to justify such actions, we carried out even calculations. disappointing, in the period from 1917 to 75, the total income of foreign oil corporations in venezuela exceeded 200 billion dollars, then the state received only about 45. nationalization was the right decision, for obvious reasons not everyone liked it. staley oil, chevron, bp and total gave in and agreed to give up controlling stakes in their assets. but pison mobile and konaca philips did not agree and were expelled from the country. and

now washington imposes sanctions against petroleus de venezula. according to american assessment, the measures they took were blocked. the company's assets are worth $7 billion. in addition, the venezuelan oil company lost $11 billion in annual revenue. and this is just a small fragment of a big story. here's another instructive one. since 2018, venezuela has been unable to access 31 tons of its own gold stored in the uk. they simply don’t hand him over under fictitious pretexts. london has profited well from such frauds; in its vaults there are at least 400,000 zloty bars worth more than 240 billion dollars, from of which only 310 tons belong to the british themselves. the case even went to court, although it was a british one, so it

satisfied london’s whims and denied venezuela’s appeal. all these attacks , he was able to withstand all the blows in very difficult conditions, another determining factor is a very strong leadership: president nicolas maduro, a very strong leader who was able to direct this resistance, who was able to lead him in order to overcome the attacks to which we were subjected, thirdly, the ability of our model to condition. we let's transform it into an economy capable of overcoming these sanctions. this is the third element. the first element is resilience, the second is leadership and the third is the ability to rethink our model, adapting it to

sanctions attacks. session of the un general assembly, you spoke about some sectors that glorify fascism and nationalism, and also said that many institutions, systems and funds, for example, the world bank, the international monetary fund and others, are being exploited in the interests of the united states and its accomplices, as this manifests itself and how can this problem be solved? yes, regarding the first part of the question about the problem of nazism and fascism, which we consider the main threats facing humanity, we see how the situation in major powers, which are tolerant of the growth of nazi fascism on their territory, threatens to spread to other

countries and create a real epidemic of fascism, threatening the security of the entire world. we are talking about un resolutions on the fight against the glorification of nazism. such solutions have been practiced since 2005 . initiator russia. thanks to the principle most resolutions are still adopted, but the important thing is from whom they meet resistance. it would seem that the un was created after the second world war, when nazi ideology claimed the lives of 80 million people. and the very existence of the organization was supposed to resemble not the individual. the whole world about the terrible consequences of fascism, but in reality we see something completely different. the resolution is aimed at stopping the glorification of the nazi movement and former members of the vavnss organization, stopping the destruction of the monument to liberating soldiers and fighters against nazism, and

also preventing the march and supporters of this ideology. but such initiatives are not supported on an ongoing basis by about sixty states. here are some examples: 2019, 133 countries were in favor of the resolution, two were against, 52 states abstained, 2021, also two were against, 53 abstained, a year later, 52 countries were already against, 15 abstained, what about those two countries that year after year oppose the resolution on the fight against the glorification of nazism, the answer is the united states and ukraine, and the one that abstained is a european state. with sadness and at the same time with greatness, we we observe how the most important resolutions against fascism. especially european ones who

refuse to condemn the fascism and nazism that have caused so much harm here in europe, this should cause the united nations to think, worry and take action to put an end to it immediately. regarding the second part of your question regarding the use of un systems and funds, we know that the organization. unfortunately, we see how these institutions have practically turned into appendages of the us state department, this is very it is alarming because such institutions are moving away from the tasks set by the states, which in reality should govern the organization and the united nations, and we openly condemn this? the chosen ones are often, for

example, the world bank and the international monetary fund, these are the institutions that have the greatest influence on countries in africa, latin america and the caribbean, asia and the ocean. it was these international organizations that became the basis of democratic colonialism. decision making at the imf is carried out by: voting, share the number of votes that member states have is established depending on the number of quotas in the authorized capital, while each country has 250 basic votes, as well as the opportunity to have additional ones: one additional vote is equivalent to 100,000 sdr, special drawing rights, that is, artificial currency the imf, the system is structured so that on issues that are important and strategic in nature , 70 and 85% of the votes are required, the us and the eu, due to their position in the imf, can impose

veta rights on key decisions and have the ability to exercise control over the decision-making process, directing the organization’s activities in its own interests. often, the policies and recommendations of the imf are not at all aimed at developing the economy and creating conditions for the country’s prosperity, but simply at correcting it. balance of payments. one of the imf conditions that is worth paying attention to is the withdrawal of state support for agriculture. it is worth understanding that in many countries that would like to receive some kind of support, the agricultural sector dominates the economy. besides, in order to get a loan, the country's authorities must reduce social subsidies, as a result: the imf puts the government in such conditions that the country's financial authorities apply again. for loans, consider the example of the world bank, it concentrates on providing assistance to developing countries, humanitarian

organizations constantly draw attention to the fact that with its loans the world bank supports authoritarian rulers and developing countries, strengthening their power instead of supporting the population. world bank loans are issued on the terms that that the deputy state will fulfill certain standards and carry out specific ones. into the internal affairs of sovereign states. we call on the united nations system to return to the right path. what we are seeing in the world at the moment is the consequences of the weakening of the united nations, the results of the activities of these agencies and funds, which ultimately... by this, that is,

he tells her that if you leave me, i will take away from you money, it creates a problem creates a dysfunctional system of national unity, international institutions must restructure themselves to take control of such institutions, otherwise the crises we see in the form of wars and abuse will continue... in a situation where many international institutions are becoming outdated, require reorganization, and are not fulfilling their functions, there is a very promising alternative, for example, brix or sco, what is the role of these economic associations for the world and venezuela in particular? yes, their main role is to save humanity, that’s right, and humanity. to be saved only in if a new model of relations is created, a multilateral system that actually works, and these

organizations are called upon to do this, we have great hope. we look at brix, alba in latin america, silac, organizations based on complementarity, solidarity, other values, other principles, it is also worth noting their economic orientation, but focused on the principle of solidarity and not on the principle of competition, for example, we already see how economic organizations are starting decline, the european union is one of them, which began with a good model , an example for the whole world, but today it is turning into a model that is becoming heavier and heavier, with which it is more and more difficult to work, because the interests are economic and financial, and under the auspices of economics and finance, little can be united, because this is competition, on the other hand, we can work on the social principles of complementarity and solidarity, so i believe that this is the way

forward. signor to the minister, mister minister, in un you talked about fakes addressed to. from venezuela, for example, a number of major european american publications wrote that venezuela and the united states are close to concluding a deal on sanctions. how true is this, and if this is true, then at what stage are the negotiations between caracas and washington? washington. as our president said, we have always negotiated with the united states government, always taking into account various factors. sometimes moving towards the goal, sometimes doing it very slowly, sometimes the united states did not do what it wanted said, but we have always been interested in maintaining good relations with such an important neighbor as the united states, with any neighbors that we have, but this process has been attacked by the united states itself, negotiations are underway today, it was announced president nicolas

maduro, he announced the signing of a migration agreement, this is already underway, in the near future we will see the results on other issues, which will be announced in due course depending on how they go negotiation. in recent years, we have also faced economic pressure from the west, but we see that... evaluate the role and place of venezuela in this new world? venezuela is, firstly, an important political and geopolitical force located in latin america with influence in

the caribbean, central america, and south america. that is, venezuela has the ability to influence with a high degree the entire region of latin america and the caribbean, because we have moral principles, because we resisted, because we are very strong democracy, so we have a good foothold there, secondly, we are an energy power, and a very important one, we have the largest energy reserves on the planet, we have oil, we are the first in its reserves, we have gas, fourth in world. we also have minerals. in other words, venezuela has extremely important natural wealth, which is combined with the infrastructure of the revolution we have created over the past 24 years, which is intertwined with this wealth, so we are a country that plays

extremely important economic role in the world. signor ministero. no, gracias a ti, muy
