We have studied the experience of foreign countries in training journalists, taken into account the military and political situation developing around our republic, and examined the methods and techniques of information warfare used by Western countries against Belarus,” Colonel Alexey Titsky said.
He also reported that 170 media representatives had completed the training programme during the Voenkor exercise.
The Belarusian side proposed holding similar exercises for journalists from CSTO member states on a rotating basis in the territories of the Organization’s member countries.
