DUSHANBE, 10 October (BelTA) - Combating terrorism, strengthening border security, and fighting transnational crime have become components of national security for every CIS state, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the CIS Heads of State Council summit in Tajikistan on 10 October, BelTA has learned.
“Combating terrorism, strengthening the reliability of our borders, and fighting transnational crime have long ceased to be tasks for individual agencies. They have become components of national security for all CIS nations,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
According to the president, the meeting's extensive agenda is direct confirmation that modern threats affect everyone.
“We are witnesses to and participants in tectonic geopolitical shifts. For some, they mean a difficult and bitter recalibration of ambitions to match real capabilities. For our Eurasia, however, they are a necessary, albeit painful, stage on the path to a growing global role and the strengthening of its status as one of the most important political and economic centers of a multipolar world,” the Belarusian leader emphasized.
He expressed confidence that common challenges demand the highest level of coordination and the full use of the CIS's potential. “Therefore, our goal today is not only to identify risks and analyze opportunities, but to develop specific, practically viable mechanisms for interaction,” the head of state added.
