US security official meets with Belarus’ pro-democracy envoy

July 16, Pozirk. Dzianis Kučynski, Śviatłana Cichanoŭskaja’s diplomatic adviser, has met with Andrew Baker, the US deputy national security adviser to the vice president, at the White House to discuss steps to forge ties between the US government and the Belarusian pro-democracy forces.
Cichanoŭskaja’s office reported that the negotiations also focused on ways to secure the release of Belarusian political prisoners, international pressure on the Belarusian regime and support for civil society.
Kučynski handed Baker Cichanoŭskaja’s letter to US President Donald Trump. He also thanked the US government for securing the release of Belarusian political prisoners, including Śviatłana’s husband Siarhiej Cichanoŭski.
“The consultations in the White House were warm and productive. Andy Baker has a major influence and an important role in President Donald Trump’s administration. This meeting is a significant step forward in our dialogue with the United States. We will continue this cooperation to free Belarusian political prisoners and bring about positive change in our country,” Kučynski said.
