Since the Lockerbie bombing, Belarus has been one of the few European nations to maintain diplomatic relations with Libya.

[3] Lukashenko said at this meeting that he favoured "a multipolar world, peace in Northern visit and are also ready for large-scale economic cooperation".

President Lukashenko responded "We, like you, think that the world should be multipolar" The term unipolar was a direct reference to the United States who have been critical of both Belarus and Libya.

[8] Belarus condemned the military intervention in Libya, and the foreign ministry stated that "The missile strikes and bombings on the territory of Libya go beyond Resolution 1973 of the UN Security Council and are in breach of its principal goal, ensuring safety of civilian population.

The settlement of the conflict is an internal affair of Libya and should be carried out by the Libyan people alone without military intervention from outside.
