Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya has traveled to New York to take part in events during the high-level week of the UN General Assembly. She reported this on her way to the United States.

According to the democratic forces leader, she has many meetings scheduled in the coming days. She said the talks will focus on the release of political prisoners, support for Belarusians, and the security and independence of Belarus.

“The high-level week of the UN General Assembly is ahead. These are always very busy days, when world leaders gather in one place and it is possible to have dozens, or even hundreds, of important conversations over several days. So I have many meetings ahead. We will talk about the release of political prisoners, support for Belarusians, and the security and independence of our country.

And it is very important to remind people that when the world discusses the future of our region, Belarus cannot simply remain a line next to Russia. We have our own voice and our own interests,” she stressed.

The politician also promised to provide updates on the visit.
