24 September 2021
On September 24, 2021 the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus, Vladimir Makei, met with the Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Office, Vladimir Voronkov.
The interlocutors discussed topical issues of cooperation between Belarus and the UN in the field of combating terrorism and the challenges the international community faces in the field of counter-terrorism cooperation.
V.Voronkov noted the active and constructive nature of the contacts of the Belarusian side with the UN Counter-Terrorism Office. The UN Under-Secretary-General thanked Belarus for organizing and holding together with the UN in September 2019 in Minsk the International High-level Conference “Countering Terrorism through Innovative Approaches and the Use of New and Emerging Technologies“, which laid a solid foundation and gave a serious impetus to subsequent multilateral forums on countering terrorism.
V.Makei informed his interlocutor about Belarus support for the fight against terrorism within the framework of regional associations, in particular in the CSTO. The parties agreed on the need to intensify contacts between the UN Counter-Terrorism Office and the CSTO, taking into account the developing situation in Afghanistan.
The sides confirmed the inadmissibility of manipulating the issues of combating terrorism in order to achieve narrow political goals. It was noted that this impedes progress in the negotiation and adoption of new international agreements that meet modern challenges in the field of counterterrorism.
