The world has so far failed to restore the global balance which was broken at the end of the last century. In these circumstances Belarus is actively promoting the initiative of a large-scale international dialogue aimed at strengthening the architecture of international security. “This initiative has earned appreciation," Alexander Lukashenko said.
