The Belarusian leader said that Minsk “strongly and consistently” supports the idea of increasing the use of national currencies in trade and finance
As Russkaya Planeta reports, during the meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko stated that during the current difficult times, relying on the dollar as a means of payment or savings, can no longer be considered reliable.
“This not only deprives us of competitive financial and economic advantages, but also threatens national security”, – he said.
The President added that the U.S. is increasingly using its monetary unit, as a weapon and means of pressure on unwanted countries.
