In brief

Belarus’s self-proclaimed president said Minsk was ready to improve ties with Warsaw and called for an end to confrontation and sanctions.

Alexander Lukashenko called for renewed dialogue with Poland in a message to the Polish people marking their National Independence Day, UNIAN reported, citing Belarusian state news agency BelTA. He said Minsk was ready to improve relations and return to constructive cooperation.

Lukashenko argued that exchanging bans and sanctions or building fences and walls would not resolve the difficulties between the countries. He acknowledged differences on several issues but urged dialogue without confrontation or mutual accusations.

He also said Minsk wanted to restore trust and mutual respect as a basis for further cooperation. UNIAN’s report did not include a Polish response or any agreed steps towards resuming dialogue.
