According to him, the major goal of diplomacy is to create the necessary conditions for bringing the positions of all stakeholders together and elaborating coordinated approaches:

— You are very well aware that Belarus is responsible for the western direction within the frameworks of both the “Union State” and the CSTO. This is Belarus’s zone of responsibility, and our whole army is focused on this, together with the Russian Federation. We have a precise plan of actions in various situations, — he noted, answering the question about the conduct of the West-2017 military exercise.
