Lukashenko: Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity is designed to promote consensus in security

MINSK, 31 October (BelTA) - The Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st century is designed to promote consensus in security, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the 2nd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security on 31 October, BelTA has learned.

According to the president, the first conference on Eurasian security, held in Minsk in 2023, surprised even the most ardent skeptics, who doubted that it was possible to gather representatives of both the West and the East in such a turbulent time. Its outcome was a draft Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century, work on which will continue during the current conference.

“The document should accelerate the processes of political, economic and other consolidation in order to ensure security, strategic stability and progressive development of our countries and peoples. We see this document as comprehensive and all-encompassing, without reference to a specific region, to facilitate the formation of a consensus in the field of security,” the head of state stressed.

Aleksandr Lukashenko expressed gratitude to all those who accepted Belarus’ invitation to take part in the conference. “It is in our interests, in everyone’s interests. There are many more participants today, which is not surprising, as the situation is becoming more critical and tense,” he said. “I very much hope that such a representative circle of authoritative experts participating in the current conference will not only discuss the problems (they are well known) but will also be able to offer options for their solution.”
