The parties stated the traditionally constructive and friendly nature of relations between Belarus and the Holy See.

The Ambassador of Belarus thanked the Apostolic Nuncio for the balanced and consistent position of the Vatican on such issues as protecting family values, combating violence, ensuring the right to work and a number of others.

Moreover, the two sides discussed issues of maintaining peace and mutual understanding between countries and peoples. Dmitry Krutoi mentioned the call of Pope Francis, made last September in Kazakhstan, to revive the ‘spirit of Helsinki’, strive to strengthen the multipolar world, as well as make it more stable and calm.

The Belarusian Ambassador also noted the significant contribution of the Pontiff to the preservation of peace and his focus on political dialogue. Dmitry Krutoi added that Belarus fully shares these approaches of Pope Francis.
