MINSK, 28 May (BelTA) - The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is studying the initiative of Belarus and Russia to build a security architecture in Eurasia, SCO Secretary-General Nurlan Yermekbayev said at an international meeting of high-level representatives overseeing security issues, TASS reports.
“The Declaration of Astana highlights that SCO member states emphasize the importance of cooperation within the organization as a foundation for building an architecture of equal and indivisible security in Eurasia.
