MINSK, 31 October (BelTA) - The key to solving the current security issues is in Eurasia, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the 2nd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security on 31 October, BelTA has learned.
According to the head of state, today there is a need to think how to throw off the ballast of military contradictions and expenses, find a new key to solving the current problems and create working mechanisms to ensure global security. “Such a key is in Eurasia with its millennia-long experience of interaction between cultures and civilizations. All world axes intersect here. The whole world will depend on the way Eurasia lives in the future,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “It is in Eurasia there are countries that are able to lead the movement towards universal security and have already put forward a number of initiatives.”
Among such initiatives, the president mentioned Russia's proposals to build an inclusive and fair system of collective security, China's initiatives on global security with the formation of a “community of common destiny” and India's initiative to conclude a comprehensive global development treaty.
However, even the initiatives of such politically and military powerful and populous countries do not find universal support. “What initiatives are we talking about? Europe is facing a huge number of problems today. There is a war going on. And there is an organization - the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). What does it do? Why haven't they gathered, sat down at the negotiating table and started talking about how to live in the future? It is because some non-European states do not want it,” the Belarusian leader said.
