Legislative priorities for Belarusian lawmakers outlined

The unconditional priority of legislative activity is ensuring the independence and defense capability of the state, Chairman of the House of Representatives Igor Sergeyenko said as he opened the third session of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus of the eighth convocation in Minsk on 16 September, BelTA has learned.

“The absolute priority of legislative activity is ensuring the independence and defense capability of the state,” Igor Sergeyenko said.

Belarus has always been a donor of regional security. Belarus does not need war. This is evidenced by the peaceful foreign policy of the country, the approved Concept of National Security and the Military Doctrine, which are purely defensive in nature.

“At the same time, we see what is happening on the Belarusian borders and in the European region as a whole. A large-scale process of militarization is underway, and our immediate neighbors – Poland and the Baltic states – are purposefully turning into NATO’s foothold. All this creates direct military threats both for Belarus and for the Union State,” Igor Sergeyenko said
