“Another important story is the vote to include Belarus in the number of non-permanent members of the UN Security Council for 2024-2025.
Let me remind you that 20 countries have this status on the basis of constant rotation, and two years ago a group of Eastern European states nominated Belarus as a candidate,” he said.
Gryzlov noted that this year, contrary to the regulations, another country showed up - Slovenia.
According to the diplomat, in this way the West intends to oust Belarus from the list of applicants for membership.
“We are working seriously with our partner countries to ensure that the vote on June 6 is in favor of Belarus.
This will be an important indicator that the world is becoming multipolar,” Gryzlov stressed.
Earlier it became known that Russian and Belarusian leaders Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko during a meeting on February 17 will discuss strategic partnership, as well as integration cooperation within the Union State.
Before that, the Kremlin reported that Putin would meet with Lukashenko on Friday, February 17, in Novo-Ogaryovo.
