"Without sustainable peace and resolution of global conflicts, any development is impossible."

Axar.az reports that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stated this at the third summit held in a video conference format called "Voice of the Global South."

"Today, many regions are shaken by wars and conflicts, and the arms race is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. However, without sustainable peace and resolution of global conflicts, no development is possible," he noted.

Lukashenko also mentioned that Western sanctions against Belarus have a destructive impact on the people of other countries:

"For instance, the restrictions on Belarusian mineral fertilizers have exacerbated food shortages and hunger problems in the poorest countries."
