In today’s world, the Republic of Belarus finds itself in a geopolitical situation where the need for balanced interaction with all major centres of power has objectively come to the fore in its foreign policy. Its status as a geopolitical crossroads has provided it with attractive opportunities to make the most of its advantageous geographical position and existing transit and industrial potential, while at the same time bringing conflicts close to its borders that have never before in its sovereign history flared up and developed so rapidly and unpredictably. In the context of growing hybrid threats and the deployment of information wars on virtually all media fronts, it is precisely the main principle of the Republic of Belarus’ foreign policy - multi-vectorism - that has become the reliable foundation on which Belarusian geopolitical identity and Belarusian national interests are based today, the most important of which is ensuring balanced interaction with all participants in modern international relations, both bilaterally and multilaterally. This study discusses how this principle is being implemented in practice today.
