determined by the leaders of the six csto member states. first: the need for systemic actions to develop effective mechanisms for responding to existing crises and preventing possible conflicts is sharply increasing. such work should be based on a deep analysis of the current situation in the field of international security and building the capacity for strategic forecasting of new challenges and threats to global and regional security. to this end, the organization is working to update the analytical tools in in accordance with the priority of expanding the capabilities of odb in the information and analytical sphere proposed by the political leadership of the republic of belarus. the organization, involving think tanks and prominent representatives of the scientific and export community of our states, raises the question of developing a new methodology for the organization’s analytical activities in order to most effectively

determine the parameters for responding to new threat challenges and preventing them. second: as our experience has convincingly shown, the organization has an effective crisis response system, however, activities in this area are constantly being improved , work is currently underway to radically reduce the time required for decision-making and their verification, and increase communication capabilities in emergency situations. prompt delivery of objective information to the world community. third, priority attention requires further strengthening the power component of odb activities, improving training systems management of its collective forces, among the most important tasks, is to equip troops with modern weapons, special military equipment, and special means, in accordance with the decisions taken by the organization’s collective security council.

such work is tested in the course of joint combat training events carried out on a regular basis, its positive examples, the annual operational-strategic exercise combat brotherhood, the exercise of the csto peacekeeping forces - indestructible brotherhood and many others, they have shown the growing coherence of those participating in formation, high training of military personnel, the effectiveness of modern methods of command and control, fourth in the organization... a solid legal framework has been formed that regulates all areas of its activities, however, current political realities urgently require further improvement of the legal framework, greater detail of mechanisms and tools, algorithms making management decisions in the organization, work is underway to clarify and bring a number of fundamental documents, well, in this regard, of course, of particular importance...

the parliamentary dimension in the activities of the csto acquires. fifth: the need to stabilize the situation on the southern borders of the csto zone of responsibility. afghanistan remains the main source of regional instability and a source of potential risks. there remains a danger of the spread of terrorist activity and illegal trafficking in weapons and drugs on the territory of the csto member states. the above circumstances make the operational task urgent. working on a target project ddc interstate program to strengthen the district-afghan border, which includes specific measures aimed at ensuring the security of our southern borders. sixth: as new transnational threats emerge, including those of an epidemiological nature, the work to strengthen biological safety and form its legal and organizational foundations acquires additional relevance. it is important to intensify the exchange of experience in the field

of prevention and control of infectious diseases, personnel training, joint monitoring and emergency response . seventh, it requires further expansion of operational and preventive special measures to block the channels of recruitment of citizens of member states to participate in terrorist activities, suppress the spread of narcotic drugs, combat illegal migration, and ensure information security. conference: it became obvious that countries alone cannot confront new challenges and threats to regional security, and only within the framework of effective multifunctional associations of eurasian states, there is a chance to preserve their sovereignty and security, provided that these countries really understand the value of such an association and really adhere to its principles and share eurasian values, we are talking about... including

the coordination of the csto member states, the formation of an actual a proactive agenda of clear goal setting based on a sober assessment of the military-political situation in the world in the region and one’s own capabilities. modern security issues dictate the need to intensify work to deepen interaction with other authoritative international organizations and individual countries, primarily with those of them who share our goals and principles. a key role here is played by constructive cooperation with the united nations, especially on the peacekeeping and anti-terrorist tracks; administrative, legal and organizational conditions are being formed for building the collective... peacekeeping potential of the odb into un peacekeeping activities. undoubtedly the most important component of this work was the introduction of the institution of a coordinating state, authorized to act on behalf of the member states of our organization in contacts with the un secretariat for peacekeeping.

the systematic work of the shanghai cooperation organization needs to be stepped up. it is important to note the similarity of the approaches of the csto and the sco to many pressing international problems. first of all, on issues of countering international terrorism, the involvement of the commonwealth of independent states in such efforts is undoubtedly becomes a significant factor in ensuring regional security. these, dear conference participants, are some aspects of the main directions of the ongoing work to build the capacity of odb. eurasia. thank you for attention. thanks a lot. allow me to present the floor to the secretary general of the conference on interaction and

confidence building measures in asia, karat sarebai. please, i beg you. ladies and gentlemen, dear siblings, first of all i would like to express my gratitude to the initiator of our conference of the republic of belarus, which is observer of meetings on the interaction of trust in asia for the brilliant organization of our forum, for the invitation to take part and speak to such a representative audience, i am sure that they are openly interested. the world is indeed going through difficult

times, speakers before me spoke about this in great detail, and this applies, of course, to the eurasian continent, where the erosion of the security architecture has led to a large-scale security crisis, hotbeds of conflicts and regions remain, we have already talked about the european part of eurasia in the middle east, in southern and eastern asia, some of them have recently become noticeably more active, others remain dormant, but retain significant destructive potential , while there is a growing crisis of trust between the actors of these processes, which makes it difficult to find a solution, at the same time against the backdrop of traditional security instruments, including decades. having roots during the cold war, new associations are being built in the space of eurasia, which we can consider as structural elements of future architecture regional and broader eurasian security. we are not talking about the formation of new military-political

alliances; rather, we can say that this form of grouping of the state today has outlived its usefulness and is archaic. new associations consider security... in a much broader sense, not limited to purely military-political issues, they are of a network nature, where the influence of one core state is no longer decisive, where the joining of efforts, taking into account mutual interests, comes to the fore, search for common directions of action. moreover, even those structures that were initially created for the purpose of strengthening security have long ago crossed these limits; today they are developing as organizations of broad , multifaceted cooperation. there is a growing understanding that security is impossible without economic and social development, the solution of humanitarian issues, and the search for answers to questions of a civilizational and cultural nature. understanding that the key to

sustainable security is achieving sustainable development goals is gaining global character. therefore, a special role is acquired by the unification of states that are not oriented towards uniting traditional allies, but at forming a circle of like-minded people, building bridges, broad dialogue, searching for common topics for cooperation ; such associations should include: a meeting on interaction with measures of implementation in asia, in short cica. the cica today unites 28 asian states, occupying over 90% of the territory of the largest populated continent on the planet. while a number of regional structures in the world are faced with problems of new goal setting in a changing world, stagnation and even crisis of further development, which recently celebrated its thirtieth anniversary with the vmd, continues to grow, actively change, modernize and respond to the challenges of the time. evidence of this was

the adoption at the ostana summit in october last year of a unanimous decision by the member states on the transformation of the sda, its gradual transformation into a full-fledged international organization. the cica includes successfully interacting asian states that are members of a number of other regional security organizations such as cb, shanghai cooperation organization, arab league, asian and others. this allows us to consider the cima as a platform for broad dialogue on security issues, which is cross-platform in nature. our 28- nation forum is a flexible structure based on core principles of inclusiveness, strong consensus and voluntariness. swimdaa countries sometimes have very different views on certain things. principles allows them to effectively

interact and develop solutions, concentrating not on what separates them, but on what unites them. in the cica, states that sometimes do not have diplomatic relations with each other, and sometimes even mutual diplomatic recognition, sit at the same table; this is a great value and a unique feature of our association, which sets it apart from a number of other organizations. dear colleagues, the cica, as an organization of pan-asian cooperation , fits perfectly into the concept of a large eurasian partnership and can become a good basis for promoting this initiative among states asia. it is worth remembering how effectively the people's republic of china previously used our platform to promote its belt and road initiative. in this context , the strengthening of the azziat language seems very important. eurasian partnership by strengthening the cica platform. the uniqueness

of its membership and the breadth of its agenda make the sfmda a very useful addition, but not a counterweight to other regional formats such as the sco, csto, eac and others. overall, the cica represents a unique multilateral a platform for pan-asian political dialogue, complementing other multilateral formats and mechanisms. existing in the sfmda institute. the organization of observers and partners makes it possible to use their potential to achieve common goals in a network format, or as we also say synergy. thus, the cida can become one of the shareholders of a large eurasian partnership, complementing other regional formats, allowing the countries of the near and middle east, which are not yet covered today, to be involved in this process within the framework of the large eurasian process. the cica has already emerged as a de facto pan-asian security structure. is an international organization, and one of the advantages of our association is

the absence of internal blocs, which distinguishes it favorably from similar organizations, such as, for example, the osce already mentioned today. our organization has functioning institutions and has acquired many forms of practical interaction. svandaa has a clear mandate, which is a catalog of confidence building measures, providing for five dimensions, while economically is more developed, and we, by the way, are very dynamically discussing the problem of connectivity , which was noted by many speakers today, in our country the economic is a more developed direction than the military-political due to objective reasons, while the measurement of new challenges and threats is developing is also very active, and the humanitarian dimension is not biased into purely human rights issues. catalog world of trust, a unique document in the world history of diplomacy, according to which member states we agreed on joint approaches on how to interact in the name of strengthening trust, based on the principle from simple to

complex. first, establish trust, then , on this basis, build full-fledged cooperation, which leads to an increase in the level of mutual security, and which in turn is the most important condition for sustainable development. the cica has clear advantages, such as a sensitive attitude to geopolitical realities, the absence of bloc thinking, the right of participants without first and behind the highest and minor league, pragmatic approach to interaction in individual areas with a united agenda, we are always ready to interact with those who show interest: partnership. in conclusion, i wish the conference successful work and an interesting and fruitful discussion to all participants. thank you for attention. thank you very much karaevich. now we will hear the position on issues of european security, a large and authoritative international organization. i mean the sco and would like to invite the stage

of the deputy secretary general of the shanghai cooperation organization of grigory logvinov. dear high-ranking participants, dear colleagues, dear belarusian silversmiths, thank you very much for organizing this forum and the invitation to take part in it and speak, well, among other things, i am always glad to have the opportunity to visit your wonderful, warm, cozy minsk. i apologize in advance for the fact that i will inevitably repeat a number of points that have already been made today in the speeches of previous speakers. the sco fits neatly into the forum's theme. over the 20 years of its existence, the organization from local association, focused

almost exclusively on the problems of central asia, has become perhaps the largest in the world. half of humanity. the fact that there have been no serious conflicts in this vast space over the past two decades is largely due to the sco. the idea of ​​security was initially the cornerstone of the sco agenda. the organization was created. a mechanism for jointly countering threats emanating from the territory of what was then afghanistan, which provoked a sharp surge terrorist, separatist extremist activity of the state in central asia. it is not by chance that simultaneously with the charter, that is, the sco charter , an interstate agreement on the regional

anti-terrorist structure of the sco was signed in june 2002. rats has completed his tasks and continues to successfully perform them. despite the fact that the agenda of the structure has expanded compared to the original one, in particular it includes the topic of international information security, but also others, in this regard, currently, state members of the sco are studying the possibility of transforming rats into a universal sco center for countering security threats. dear participants, well , i repeat, the world is being shaken in the full sense of the word by tectonic tremors that are splitting the international one. societies, interstate relations are rapidly degrading, the architecture of the global world order, with ulon at its head, formed after the second world war, is being shaken. some call what is happening geopolitical turbulence, someone with a global transformation, someone else somehow, it’s not a matter of words, the main thing is that the world will never be the same again, and the process of change will be acute and painful,

sometimes taking on a threatening character, as has already been said today, stop the destructive processes , to prevent the international situation from passing the point of no return, to take the world away from the fatal point of our shared responsibility and duty. it is obvious that the sco objectively, or rather physically, cannot maintain complete detachment from what is happening, and therefore there is a need to rethink the role of the place of organization in the context of current vicissitudes. so far, the sco is seeking, in a certain sense, to distance itself from the growing crisis trends of the global order. statement of unprecedented transformational changes: this term is enshrined in the new delhi declaration of the sco in 2023, without deciphering their content ; focus almost exclusively on continuing the fight against new threats and challenges; will the sco be able to stay within such a framework? in my opinion, the question is open, as i see it, i i would like to emphasize that

expresses its personal opinion, the sco must have its say, since what is happening in the world is categorically at odds with the political and ethical standards of the organizations embodied in what has become firmly entrenched in the world political lexicon under the name of the shanghai spirit. there is a direct political directive for this - formulated in the moscow declaration of the council of heads of state of the sco member states in 2020. it clearly and unambiguously states that member states will strengthen the sco as one of the pillars of the emerging more a representative, fair world order based on the supremacy of international law, primarily the charter, respect for civilizational diversity, the people’s independent choice of the path of their political and social... economic development, equal partnership of the state, there is a proper international legal basis for the active line of the organization, in the preamble of the treaty on long-term good neighborliness, friendship and

cooperation of the sco member states dated august 16, 2007, the general the intention to contribute, i quote, to the democratization of international relations and the emergence of a new architecture, global security, new equality, mutual respect, mutual trust and benefit denial. bloc and ideological division. the corresponding mutual understandings were confirmed in the samarkand-deli declaration, adopted at meetings of the councils of heads of state, members of the sco, in the twenty-second and twenty-third years. the sco does not have an officially adopted and documented security concept. however, this does not mean that state members do not have a common understanding of the fundamental principles and principles of ensuring security in the space of the organization and beyond its borders. the 2020 moscow declaration captures the shared commitment to the principle of equal, joint, indivisible, comprehensive sustainable security, enshrined in

the 2007 formula treaty, the new architecture of global security, reproduced in the samarkan and neudal declarations. in other words, there is every reason to talk about the existence of a stable consensus on this matter. the question is how convert this political and legal potential. clear understandable political position and practical actions. and secondly, what can we realistically expect from the sco? we must not forget that the sco is not a defense bloc. its organizational structure completely lacks the attributes of a military alliance. the sco's statutory documents contain no mutual obligations for joint defense against external aggression. it is critically important to thoroughly read and evaluate opportunities to avoid approaching it with excessive demands that could expose the organization to critical overloads that threaten the strength of its structure. the principles of the shanghai spirit

are widely in demand throughout the world. today , players from the middle east, northern africa, and southern southeast asia are actively drawn to shows. moreover, crisis phenomena in the international situation only fueled this interest, as shown by the progress of preparations for the summits in samarkand and new delhi. soon, bearing in mind that the process of accepting belarus as a full member state is entering the final stage, and the number of dialogue partner states is close to 15. it is obvious that countries wishing to join the family do not want to live in a confrontational coordinate system, do not want to be commanded or imposed on socio-political standards of a model that are alien to their cultural and general civilization. traditions in the vast space of the organization , a positive alternative to crisis conflict approaches is being formed. it becomes a kind of oasis of stability and, as it were, an

assembly point for the large eurasian region. i believe that the consolidation of the trend, the subsequent expansion of its geographical coverage should be the essence of the sco strategy in the current environment. dear colleagues, over the past 2 years, over two decades, the thesis has firmly established itself in geopolitical discourse: about the consistent shift of the center of gravity of international life to the east. well, indeed, if we look at the dynamics of changes in the proportions of the total volumes of gdp of the western-eastern hemispheres and investment flows, we will clearly see the flow in the eastern direction gaining momentum, as dear mr. ciartu has already spoken about today. asian the space is gradually becoming a platform for the concentration of high-tech production of scientific discoveries. at the same time , the asia-texas region has not been spared by the current turbulent processes in the world community. just like on the euro-atlantic site. artificially

stimulated conflict tendencies are developing here, enjoying the bloc of cold war thinking. new dividing lines are being drawn. calling a spade a spade, the eurasian space is being drawn deeper and deeper into the crisis watershed, which is also already discussed today it was said. the point of no return has not yet been passed, but it is getting closer. and in this regard , the sco is objectively called upon to become a reliable barrier to the development of their destructive processes. i would like to remind you that the sco outlined its intention to play a systemic role in ensuring security in the vast expanses of the asia-pacific region from the first years of its existence. already in 2004, the council of heads of state of the sco took the initiative to form the wtr partnership network of multilateral associations. unfortunately, this initiative was not heard then. ensuring security is not is limited to one military-political power dimension. stability is impossible without creating a healthy financial and economic environment that allows states

to interact with each other. on an equal, mutually beneficial basis, and here the role of the sco can hardly be overestimated, being in the full sense of the word a transcontinental association, the organization serves not just as a bridge connecting asia with europe, but can also become a generator of integration impulses, initiators and locomotives for promoting the unification agenda, in the dushanbe twenty-first year and samarkan twenty-second year declarations of the council of heads of state of the sco recorded a common understanding of the importance of: using the potential of the countries of the region, international organizations and multilateral associations in the interests of forming eurasia a space of broad, open, mutually beneficial and equal interaction in accordance with the norms of international law taking into account national interests. in this context, attention is drawn to the idea of ​​creating a large eurasian partnership with the participation of the sco countries, the eurasian economic union , the association of southeast asian states, as well as other

interested parties... the supporting pillar of the bp concept is the combination of the eurasian economic union and the initiative of the chairman of the people's republic of china, mr. sidinpin, one train, one track. i would like to note that efforts to form a common european economic space can also become an alternative to the negative phenomena and trends that have developed in the world in the region in recent years, and put a barrier attempts to weaken centripetal forces and integration. processes on the eurasian continent, to divide the countries of eurasia. in this context, i would like to draw attention, i also drew attention to this paradox , to the literally explosive growth in popularity of an association close in spirit to the sco, like brixal, whose composition will more than double from january 1 next year, from five members to 11, with that about 40 more states have declared their desire to join the golden brick, as it

is called in china, of which... 23 officially applied for an offensive, pairing the agendas of the sco and brix, coupled with the cis, csto, svda and others, is fraught with gigantic potential without involving. and in conclusion, dear belarusian hosts, as i already said, not today, tomorrow, the republic of belarus will become a full state member of the sco. i have no doubt that the reception of your country will give the functioning organization new dynamics in all dimensions, i wish you fruitful work. thank you for your attention, thank you very much, almost every speech contains the word integration, well, it seems to me, one of the most striking examples , especially recently of an extremely effective integration scheme , is the union state of russia and belarus, and if i may, i will be pleased to give the floor to the state secretary of the union state, dmitry fedorovich mezinets, dmitry fedorovich, i ask you.

thank you, dear ivan mikhailovich, for such a message and confirmation of the large-scale practice of relations between belarus and russia, which are united by a union treaty. well, allow me to join in the words of gratitude addressed to sergei fetrovich oleynik, minister of foreign affairs of belarus, the team of the belarusian foreign ministry, to those citizens of the republic who put their hearts into it. and were very attentive at the preparation stage of the conference, taking into account our proposals, many thanks to the organizers, thank you for the invitation and the right to say a few words from this truly authoritative and high rostrum today, about which the journalists who ensure the work of the forum, already reported to their viewers and readers today, today’s

performance... it was mentioned that the union the state, as a successful interstate association, also has a significant and significant impact on ensuring regional security, we want to especially note the role of the national leaders of belarus and russia, who exchanged instruments of ratification back in january 2000, this moment meant the beginning of large-scale work to implement the key provisions of the union agreement. of course, this profound document, carefully researched and verified, pays serious attention to the interaction of the parties to ensure regional security, but at the same time

success of the union state, this is a verified balance of taking into account the interests of two sovereign countries, the tasks of union building unconditionally and immediately on the foundation of mutually respectful coordination of positions, unification and coordination of efforts, externally from the ministry of defense, border services, on the basis of unconditional unity of approaches and presentation of identical positions in the vast majority of cases .
