Lukashenko: Belarus is ready to develop cooperation with Germany on the basis of mutual respect

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko congratulated the people of the Federal Republic of Germany on the Day of Unity. BELTA was informed about this by the press service of the Belarusian leader.

The Head of State noted that the reunification of Germany in 1990 was made possible by the atmosphere of trust and constructive cooperation between the countries of the continent.

"The transition from confrontation to dialogue required brave, strategic decisions from all parties at that time. Unfortunately, the European Union is now pursuing an independent policy of confrontation towards a number of sovereign states. Brussels' only tool is unilateral economic and political pressure, which directly contradicts international law," the President pointed out.

Alexander Lukashenko emphasized that the official Berlin's support for such a course is harmful and absolutely does not correspond to the hopes of the two peoples, causing deep disappointment and justified rejection in Belarus, especially considering the terrible events and numerous casualties on Belarusian soil during World War II.

"100 years after the establishment of diplomatic relations, Belarus, as before, is ready to develop cooperation with the FRG on the principles of equality and mutual respect. This will also contribute to strengthening regional security and stability," the congratulatory message reads.

On this festive day, the Head of State wished German society peace and confidence in the future.
