BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 21. Baku Initiative Group supports colonized countries in gaining independence, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Belize to the UN Carlos Fuller, told reporters at the Baku Initiative Group office, Trend reports.
“We achieved independence from Britain in 1981. It's a struggle where you have to be persistent and point out what your core principles are. In the case of Belize, it has always been self-determination of the people and territorial integrity. Then, of course, you have to spread your idea to your neighbors and make them join you. Then you spread that idea around the world to get the full support of the international community,” he emphasized.
Carlos Fuller noted that colonized countries should make their neighbors understand their situation and convey this idea to them.
“I think that's what the Baku Initiative Group is doing. Thereafter, we will have a mandate to go to the UN and engage other countries at the political level to disseminate information about the struggle of the people of Bonaire for their right to independence,” he added.
