Belarus is ready to support Kazakhstan’s initiatives during its chairmanship of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Uladzimir Andreychanka, speaker of Belarus’ House of Representatives, told the new OSCE chairperson-in-office, Kazakh Foreign Minister Kanat Saudabayev, at a meeting in Minsk on Tuesday as quoted by BelaPAN.

Belarus is a “very active and responsible OSCE participant” and suggests that the Organization’s decisions have a “practical and specific content,” Mr. Andreychanka noted.

“Belarus plays a very important role in ensuring security within the framework of the OSCE,” he said. “In particular, the country is actively involved in efforts to combat trafficking in human beings and drugs.”
