MINSK, 9 February (BelTA) – The Belarusian side sees no need for a personal visit of Markus Loening to Minsk, said Maria Vanshina, Deputy Head of the Information Office, Head of the Press Service of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry, when asked about the possible visit of Markus Loening, Plenipotentiary for Human Rights Policy of the German federal government, to Belarus.
Maria Vanshina said that unfortunately Markus Loening's contribution to Belarusian-German relations was not a positive one. She remarked the Belarusian side had also taken into account multiple refusals of Germany to grant entry to Belarusian officials, including those with a valid Schengen visa, who were intent on taking part in international events.
"There is no need to send a messenger to deliver the letter mentioned by Mr Loening. Generally recognized diplomatic channels are fit for that. By the way, the German side used them today and delivered the letter," said Maria Vanshina.
