Alexander Lukashenko: Belarus’ hardline stance allows standing up to slave trade, ensuring security of people

The hardline and uncompromising policy Belarus leads allows standing up to modern slave trade and ensuring the security of Belarusian people, said Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko during the opening of the international centre for training and retraining specialists in combating human trafficking and illegal migration today. He noted, Belarus has no intention of abandoning the policy and is ready to promote fruitful cooperation with international organisations and interested countries and individuals. The newly created Minsk centre will play a special part in handling these issues, stressed the head of state. There is every prerequisite for it. It was no accident the Belarusian Interior Ministry Academy had been chosen as the centre’s location. According to Alexander Lukashenko, scientific and research potential of Belarusian scientists and lawyers will allow the centre to work out scientifically substantiated strategies and practical recommendations. Its doors will be open to representatives of various parts of the planet.
