Belarus to Stand Firm against US and West Sanctions
Pyongyang, March 25 (KCNA) -- The director of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus Tuesday clarified the government's stand against the U.S. and West sanctions.

He said that the government worked out a list of Americans and Westerners whose entry into Belarus would be banned in return for the U.S. and the West which took measures to restrict visa for Belorussians and apply economic sanctions against Belarus.

This step was taken because they committed acts against Belarus and deterred the international efforts for cooperation with it, he said.

He stressed that the government would tighten control over foreign socio-political organizations and their representatives illegally funding some political forces in Belarus.
