say goodbye to you in a great mood, all the best, goodbye.

maxim vladimirovich, good evening, good evening, we continue the series of acquaintances with new ministers. probably, even more difficult than heading the ministry of information during an information war can only be the leadership of a diplomatic department in the most non-diplomatic period. conflict on ukraine, the middle east is burning, the west, well, they

are just throwing packages of sanctions at belarus. and the entire diplomatic landscape in the world is disrupted. i know that in your youth you wanted to go into military service. and the foreign ministry today is probably even a bit of the ministry of defense. so, it turns out, be afraid of your desires? well, if we talk about your desires, then just be afraid of your unwillingness. this was practically the motto, probably, if you look at all my career moves since graduating from law school. i really didn’t want to to go to the diplomatic service, where he wanted me to go. father, i eventually got there, that is, i wanted to be a military man, they said correctly, then at some point i really couldn’t imagine any other job for myself than the diplomatic service, and of course, inside i always aspired to a career, as they say, for any military man, for a soldier,

that is, to become a general, so for us to become an ambassador, but fate decreed that it threw me into the presidential administration, when in the presidential administration i it seemed that it was better... mother no, when in the presidential administration i got involved in the most serious issues of the activities of the head of our state, it turned out that in his opinion, it means that it would be better for me again somewhere in the ministry of foreign affairs, which , to be honest, i didn’t even think about as a workplace in the near future, and certainly didn’t

dream about, so here you should rather be afraid of your unwillingness, but your own complexes, that ’s what has haunted me my whole life, from the point of view of what period is today for diplomats, well, i will say that the most opposite, even such a diplomatic period, because you see how painfully the international agenda is experiencing this transformation from a unipolar to a multipolar world, and even the americans today no longer doubt that the world is moving towards this multipolarity, it is only a matter of time to maintain this hegemony, everyone understands this, of course, and of course,

they are called upon to deal with issues of global security, stability, but they do not do this, that is what needs to be agreed upon somehow, regardless of the size of the countries, the economic potential with each other, that it is necessary to go to... to cross-border, good cooperation, this is better than any war, in fact, you see how shuttle diplomacy has today become , well, the main work of diplomats of many countries, that is, trips to each other, international forums, holding conferences, we with russia put forward our proposals for signing, that is, a charter of multipolarity, diversity, corresponding things, you are our chinese side, peace initiatives for ukraine, questions... formation it today it's all just seething, therefore from the point of view of a diplomatic worker in general,

who wants to prove himself and who wants to take part in something eventful, today is just the time to work, well, to the question of such a militarized thing, i will answer with the expression of gromyk, who said: "better 10 years of negotiations than one day of war." today these 10 years of negotiations, and as our president says, it is better that there are more of these negotiations and longer than actually, at least some... there were even hints that some armed conflicts would be involved in our country. of course, no one needs war, at least belarusians definitely don't need it. but, you mentioned your father, then i 'll definitely ask this question. there aren't many hereditary leaders in our country, political dynasties, well, it's not our history. the average official is more like me, a native of the provinces, yes, and moved to minsk, and so on and so forth. you , your father, you yourself are from a capital family they said about it, he was the minister of sports, the first

president of the belarusian national committee and was friends with samoranch, as far as i know, that's the background, did it help you in your career, or did you still have to constantly prove your own self-sufficiency? the question is very interesting, i'll say this, of course, if my father had continued to live occupying the positions he held then, well or... 4 years later it all ended and i had to get out on my own, the most interesting thing is that there are a lot of people who, in

general, were once close to my father, so at that moment they told our family: well , that's it, rozhenko, your time is up, let's do it ourselves from now on, and there was no choice, actually, i am very grateful to those people in the ministry of foreign affairs who took me up, then later to the head of our state, because i already said this, all my moves were his decisions, and without even asking mine by and large... everything collapsed at once and we had to create everything from the very beginning, actually, when at

some point people who didn't know my genealogy, found out that i had such a father, then of course they were very surprised that such a son grew up, because in fact in those years few of the children of high officials went into government service, because these are low salaries, these are small opportunities, this is absolutely not a solution to some everyday issues that need to be ... various firms, private corporations, some, wants to go into government

service, this should only be welcomed, this means that the family brought him, the feeling of patriotism is correct, actually, when you look at some of our leaders whose children study abroad and don't come back, stay there, create families and actually continue their lives there, well, for me this is an indicator of the appropriate upbringing in such families and... therefore, as much as i would welcome it, of course, parents should also look to ensure that their child, who goes to work, still has his own life, you can't steal the life of your son or daughter, that is, you can only push towards something, advise something, that's it, but drag it out i am absolutely sure that it is impossible to pull him through all the steps of the career ladder, otherwise he will lose himself at some point, when there is no such support, he will be left alone with his problems, it will turn out that he cannot cope with these problems himself, then

the question is tricky, but i cannot help but ask, in your previous post you largely... determined the course of a number of ministries, so what is it like today to accept for execution your own directive, here in a different horizontal, yes, you would not like to soften these requirements now just exactly, yes, since, well, i will also answer this trick with a frankness, yes, well, not so much built, probably, as if how the ministry should work, but... how they should build their work, based on those tasks of instructions that the president sets, this is absolutely true, and of course, it was necessary to ask very harshly from the ministry of foreign affairs, including, but what is the big difference that when you are in the administration, above you is the head of the administration, the president, strictly speaking, you understand this pulse

that beats in the palace of independence, its you pass it on, as the president says, so that they feel the rhythm and tension, that's one thing. when you sit down, that is, the ministry, it turns out that the pulse is passed on to you from the presidential administration , from the council of ministers, from the council of ministers one deputy prime minister, the second deputy prime minister, the third , the prime minister and so on and so forth, here you begin to understand that there are probably too many of these pulses, and of course, i would like a little less of this tension, because the person is charged, who went through a kind of school around the president, i'm in the administration 18 years worked, then maybe it would be enough for me.

in state power, how do you define this task for yourself? well, firstly, the voice of the ministry of foreign affairs, and through the voice of the ministry, the voice of belarus in the international arena should sound louder, and not just louder, and not emotionally, but louder creatively, with interesting ideas, interesting proposals and some very non-standard solutions that our friends will accept with pleasure, and from which our... let's call it enemies or ill-wishers, who will find it difficult to cope with our some such foreign policy projects and ideas. secondly, of course, increasing the demands on our embassies and on the mfa units to carry out the tasks and assignments set by the president and the government. because, of course, the rhythm of foreign trade,

foreign economic relations, political relations, it should be more manifested through the mfa. and today, when we have distributed separate powers for developing relations with organizations, some and countries to members of the government, here are the ministers, heads of organizations, of course it is important that mit still remains the coordinator of this work, still concentrate this work on himself, besides, you know, i have always been somehow a little bit struck by one theme, that we seem to live in... the same space, we see the same events, but we do not see how they are reacted to , suddenly a proposal is born from the president, so let's try to do this, and we are already starting to move, we are preparing some kind of blank, that is, a find, and then, in general, we develop it, i immediately to colleagues, as soon as i came to the foreign ministry and said, why do we always go, well, like a step or two

behind the president, yes, of course, the president naturally feels many things. much more sensitively than we do, but we will never get away from the fact that there will be instructions, there will be expectations, but we should still bring shells more than just carry out his tasks, that is, we ourselves should initiate something and throw it there, that is, for development, so that the president sees that the foreign ministry has an understanding of the current agenda, and we are also not a little torn away from the country, we are trying, this means that this international agenda needs to be reformatted to meet the needs.

weeks, months of work, how you make acquaintances, how you position yourself in relations with your colleagues, largely depends on how smoothly or not smoothly you enter this community, or so to speak, of foreign

policy, which we really need today, and of course for me, as a young minister from the point of view of appointment, it was very important to carry out this kind of meetings, conversations, discussions, well, with very serious diplomats. let's do it with the main ones allies, with the main allies, yes, if we add to this a meeting with the minister of foreign affairs of india, if we add such short meetings, albeit short, but with our colleagues from the central asian republics, the sco member countries, then in principle in literally 10 days i covered with acquaintance and some solutions to some issues really our closest allies, in fact... this is a big argument in further work, well, i can even say special gratitude, considering that so to my colleague from kazakhstan, in fact, as soon as the appointment took place in the country, my

visit to the ministry of foreign affairs was immediately organized, a meeting was held and a ceremonial dinner there, from the point of view of the fact that we met, and it turned out that he also headed the presidential administration, so there was something to talk about, these points of contact were found, now i understand that i have a friend in central asia and he also understands that there is someone to rely on in belarus. upon arrival in astana, well, and i can not help but pay tribute to the wisdom and such generally conceptual approaches of my colleague from china, mr. wang, and of course i was very impressed by the meeting. the planned short time of 3 hours lasted and was in the government's country residence, which had never happened before, and all this was confirmed after my appointment,

so of course i built this rhythm myself, based on what had happened before, but to be honest, i am very grateful for this, but the president noted that you are not a new person in diplomatic circles, you worked in poland in israel, i think, from an acquaintance and... near abroad, i'll start: on tuesday, latvia banned entry into its territory of cars with belarusian license plates. poland creates constant obstacles at the border for our heavy trucks. lithuania is generally concerned about the belarusian food basket for those who cross the border. the ministry of foreign affairs once promised that it would give its asymmetrical answer. so. what answer does the ministry of foreign affairs give? the proposal was worked out by the ministry of foreign affairs, all the details were discussed together with interested parties, and it was submitted to the president for consideration,

here is a proposal on visa-free entry into the territory of belarus for citizens of a number of countries, the president supported this proposal, and i am glad to inform our colleagues and partners from the eu countries that from the 19th at 8 am. a new regime is being introduced for citizens of the countries of the european union and other european countries, for whom a visa regime has been in effect until now, a visa-free entry through railway and automobile checkpoints into the republic of belarus for up to 30 days, this visa regime will be in effect until december 31, twenty fourth year, as you know, we have the same regime for citizens of poland, lithuania and latvia, that is, when... our closest neighbors close themselves off and create all sorts of obstacles to the development of cross-border cooperation, contacts between people, which from my point of view is a gross violation of all existing

conventions in... what bce, council of europe, european union, we, nevertheless, on the contrary, show our openness, the desire to show our country to the international community, come, see, work with our people, do business, take tourist trips, and most importantly, keep in touch with your friends, acquaintances, relatives, but there is one caveat, for holders of diplomatic service passports, for those who... today, in fact, is the basis of these sanctions, the visa regime will be continued, that is, it turns out that it is better to see belarus once, yes, i think that whoever comes to belarus, he will come not once, but having seen it for the first time, the second, third and fourth will want to come, given that it will be a visa-free regime, i am sure that he will bring some of his friends who are easy-going, so we agreed, let's go to belarus tomorrow

, let's go, well, as they say in... poland: for me personally, the possibility of closing the borders to cargo is nothing more than a pr decision that will obviously hit the poles themselves, no matter how they put a good face on a bad game, after all, won't poland turn into... i'll reveal another secret, but it may not be a secret for certain people, for poles it is definitely not a secret, therefore for you and for the viewers of the program too, my grandmother was maria genrikhovna and my mother was bronislava frantsovna, on that line, so it was just, let's say, the polish part of my gene pool,

therefore. when i say that my grandmother went to the red church until her last days and prayed in polish, you will understand that i , in fact, understand in general what the polish people, the polish nation, their aspirations, internal mentality are, that's it, because i remember my grandmother and mother very well, they were such pure poles, in fact, with all the typical deeds, hard work, such, quite sharp emotionality, and at the same time very tough. such a character, very bright women in themselves , therefore, to be honest, i imagine everything, speaking about poland, i would like to say that poland will never act to the detriment of its interests. what they are doing today means only one thing, that it corresponds to their interests today, at the present moment. so, some there are political things in poland that allow such an attitude towards belarus, which means

that they are playing this trump card with someone somewhere. our border and this trade turnover, well, i want to say that blackmail regarding the transit of chinese goods did not work out at all, no matter how they tried to brag, otherwise these fugitives would not have nodded their head. in fact, it was our initiative, during my trip we very much handed over a number of there, that is, documents , explained in great detail the nature of things at the border, which was perceived not just with understanding, it was accepted by our colleagues, on this... disappeared in principle to any intrigues on this part, the most interesting thing is that by cutting off this piece of transit, poland naturally encroaches on the interests of both its economic elite and those people who live in the eastern parts of poland, and those who in principle thought that they would make a good profit due to the fact that latvia-lithuania transit sometime earlier than...

we will never go for this and i think that the poles, knowing me, also understand that i will be the last one who will advise doing this in their relations. in terms of contacts with china, this is also an attempt to influence us for a clear solution of their polish issues. but there is one thing, but, that in this way poland shows the entire european union that here, in this area in economic relations

between china and europe. from the point of view of the implementation of those tasks that the european union seems to have delegated to poland on protecting this border, preventing migration, cooperation with belarus on border customs issues, today they are...

there is a serious national polish the minority with which they would like to maintain relations, on the other hand, is belarusian, but with such steps they are acting in violation of all norms, rules, good neighborliness, relationships, and a little on the other hand, because it is poland and lithuania, our closest neighbors, that have become a haven for our fugitives, including people who are real criminals, but love for them has recently begun to turn...

poland and lithuania really did not like the policy or do not like the policy of our president our government some kind of feeling they thought and continue to think somewhere that some other government, some other president will be more accommodating from the point of view of the implementation of poland and lithuania's interests. what are the interests, of course poland wants... to be more active in the western regions of belarus, as in ukraine, many there still consider it their eastern crossroads, with lost property, lands there, buildings and so on. of course, they want to play the main economic violin here, they want,

so that the economic expansion of the european union would go through poland, and this is already completely different money, completely different resources . the most important thing for lithuania is to kill any rudiments of any kind in belarus. identification of these southern regions of lithuania with the belarusian national idea, called by these fugitives litvinism, you see what is happening there, as soon as they are there in vilnius, everyone in this vilnius, in which 100 years ago the ideas of just the national liberation movement within russia, the common empire, the belarusian movement, 100 years ago, they again sat down, started talking about it again, and they were immediately given a slap on the wrist, because it absolutely destroys any of these... historical paradigms of the existence of the lithuanian state that have been created to date, in fact, i remember one evening, the first president of our visit to lithuania officially, it was , i think, ninety-five, i think the year or ninety-four, ninety-five, probably, our president, signing a treaty of

friendship, cooperation, several more treaties on the border, there on the status of some objects, speaks all in the name of lithuania, speaks, and there hangs a gobilen of some century with a coat of arms, that is, a chase. where the tail is down, at that time we, that is, also had a coat of arms just chased with a tail down and with all the same things that characterize the difference between the coats of arms at that time, that is , of lithuania and belarus, it turns out to be some kind of dissonance, that is, like, and of course, all this oppresses them, they thought that they would change the government here, imprison someone, that is, in exchange for this, and we know for sure that such conversations were held, they would receive decision with...

tikhanovsky, maybe even more than around the president of lithuania, all these 4 years, what are they doing at all, why is this necessary. i'm not even talking about ordinary taxpayers of these two countries, why is money spent on all this sfora, if their work does not lead to anything good in relations between the countries, in principle, we all already understand that they will not go anywhere, they will not go to jail anywhere and they will not give these countries any chips, they will still have to go to jail and before...

brics on the horizon, well, there are not enough fingers, where does such multifaceted activity come from, and how does it work? it's probably like the overflow of two vessels, if someone wants something to overflow and there is something to overflow. our president constantly sets the task that in these conditions in which we find ourselves today, firstly, we must perform our task well, and secondly, we must run as fast as we can to perform it. and of course, we cannot afford that classical diplomacy that... was formed there for years, in some countries for decades and centuries,

we are forced to immediately build our foreign policy line, because we are exposed to a very powerful influence of some powers that be, let's name the collective west to a greater extent, and of course, taking into account that we are quite seriously losing both sales markets, equipment supplies from the point of view of relations with the west in order to maintain the sustainable development of our country, which i spoke about earlier, then we must find a replacement for all this through diplomatic instruments, of course, it's a pity, because from the point of view to look for optimality across three seas, when you have it here across the border, it is a big expense, so they have a need, they have a need, but today this is the only opportunity, because well , our partners overseas are absolutely not able to negotiate, and we always welcome any consultations, we are ready and open...

in fact, all of us - through such organizations as the sco, brics, regional organizations that exist in asia and latin america, here in the middle east, here we are all adherents of that new world of multipolarity, and these adherents are becoming more and more numerous. let's take only one organization , the shos. shos is almost 3.5 billion people, this is 40% of the world's population, if you combine shos with brix, it will already be more than half of the world's population, if you take shos, in fact 30%

of industrial production of the entire world, add brix there and we almost reach 50, and this is all a resource base, relying on which we can solve political, economic, social issues in that region, well, read all the most famous analysts here this eurasian integration, the eurasian space, they all say that exactly...

and i say that within the framework of these organizations we can rely and believe that our partners will not abandon us, they will support us, and practice proves this, this is the solution of financial issues that also worry us today, this means the promotion of joint projects, for example, such

logistics projects as the transport corridor from belarus to pakistan, through russia, through kazakhstan, uzbekistan, afghanistan.

segments, meetings at the ministerial level education, on economic issues, in these, you know, games of the brics countries took part, the president is going to attend the brics summit in october, which will be in kazan and this will be his full-scale participation there , taking into account the meeting in the bilateral track, so far 10 countries, members, so now the final - as if legal consolidation of the term brics partner or?

here we have confirmation that all brics members are ready to see belarus there as one of these ten, i think that this is quite accurate today. vasim vladimirovich, here is the world, it is changing right before our eyes, and this is not a dystopia, not a science fiction, as they say, and information people. today we are talking about the distant arc, it has become much closer, even than some of our closest circles before. it just so happened that on the thirtieth anniversary of the first presidential elections, yes, the first ladies of zimbabwe and nigeria visited belarus. but from the point of view of a diplomat, what is interesting to us about africa, and what is interesting to us about india, since you have already mentioned it? well, in fact, here is how i

once again for the use of any mechanisms in the implementation of our goals, tasks in development. population, this is decent. the second topic, the further dynamics of population growth, that is, the market will only increase consumerist. the next thing is huge resources by many indicators, more than 30-40% of the world's reserves, and very much

in demand in metallurgy, in industry recently. and look what kind of independent policy african countries have begun to conduct more and more, breaking away from the previously imposed some agreements or arrangements, let's call them the countries of the collective west, there is more and more aspiration to independently build their lives , independence of their foreign economic policy, why is this interesting for us, why might they be interested in working with us, we go there as partners, real partners, never the belarusian people, nor the soviet... people have been to africa in india, never as a colonizer, we have always been there those who helped them build their economy, social sphere, infrastructure. unlike western countries, which always came there as colonists, sucked out all

the wealth, sucked out everything, that is, resources, and neocolonialism continues today, why so many people wonder, this is what happened with libya, how it happened, why is there this conflict in syria, in iraq, that is, at one time, why is egypt like this too... the revolutions shook, we know where they started, tunisia, because these countries at some point switched from such a simple trade with the west, which was expressed like this, there, so to speak, oil, there are diamonds, bauxite, something else, in exchange for goods, equipment from the west, they switched to the fact that they began to develop the corresponding production at home, at some point a dilemma arose for western countries, but otherwise it’s good, i buy oil from them, i buy... they have some resources, we have to drive something there, and if , strictly speaking, they began to develop their own

agriculture, then neither wheat, nor vegetables, nor fruits will go there from europe, that is, they began assembly production with processing with the help of belarus, russia, china and so on, what will happen, will capital be pumped out of european countries, nothing good for them, in many ways the same paradigm. it was in relation to these wars of the west with china there in the 16th century, when china simply began to actually pump out silver from the new world and from europe, switching to a silver currency, not buying anything in europe, but selling there from silk to paper and everything that china was famous for at that time, therefore here is the same approach, purely predatory, and as soon as they are starting to develop, everything is not interesting for these countries, we need to change the rulers, which means we need to get them hooked on luxury goods, which they have learned to make in europe during this time, and so that everything is imported there, peoples, so today these peoples have recovered,

today they are ready to develop, and we are coming there with technologies, we are coming there with assembly plants, we are coming there with specialists who teach them competencies, this is what the west does not like, because love ends immediately, love ends, well, and india, well the president always says that we should try to reach the level with india, well , no less than with china, in fact, the country is huge, powerful, developed, and of course, we could still give something somewhere on the external market, there is, undoubtedly, but we must understand that in india, probably, after all, issues of cooperation with some countries, the west are a little more of a priority, and of course, in this regard, it means, the inertia of movement is a little greater, but i want to tell you, despite this, there are a number of projects, there are... a number of agreements, and i am sure that in in the near future, without revealing them now under the naked, well, we will be witnesses, then their

implementation. there is one topic that only the lazy are not interested in and which is directly related to your area of ​​work, yes, our respected american, partners, so, this situation that happened literally the other day in the usa, we talked about the fact that the elections in the usa. will be very interesting, we watched this, and tucker carlson literally 2 months ago predicted that an attempt would be made on trump's life, it never happened, here again, so that's what our the diplomatic department is expecting today from the elections in america, well, those who have never been like this, well, probably, some pages from the history of the usa. that is why in fact

the behind-the-scenes managers of the policy of development of america are somehow not asleep today. in response to your question, i want to say right away that the belarusian side really hopes really wants all the candidates for the us presidency to be healthy and without injuries yes.

tired of this mentoring of the usa interference in topics that, well, from the point of view of, so to speak, the collective international community, well, in principle, not the case of the united states of america, in america itself there is also fatigue from the fact that today the country's leadership is very much engaged in foreign policy , foreign economic, sanctions matters and so on.

the policy of unilateral pressure, sanctions, unleashing wars, after all, these wars that are on the perimeter of china, russia in hot spots, all this, in fact, is sponsored and encouraged precisely from the ocean, the growth points of this potential for conflict, which is capable of going beyond the boundaries

of these regions to cover more already serious interregional ones. vietnam, afghanistan, iraq, everywhere, well, this all confirms, in fact, therefore, if they come to the understanding that through the opposite non-conference approach, taking on greater responsibility for the formation of this new world order, they will be able to bring in this american

character, then i think that...
