- We express our strong support to boosting regional connectivity, especially along the North-South axis, which we find crucial for building necessary resilience against risks and hostilities both our countries have experienced from the authoritarian regimes of Russian Federation and Belarus and which we find to be the source of primary threat to peace and stability in our direct neighbourhood.
