Belarus attends IPU Assembly, calls to reboot international security system
MINSK, 20 October (BelTA) - Belarus calls for a reboot of the international security system to strengthen global peace and security, Sergei Aleinik, Chairman of the Standing Commission on International Affairs and National Security of the Council of the Republic, said while speaking at the 151st Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Geneva on 20 October, BelTA has learned.
Sergei Aleinik made a speech at a meeting of the Standing Committee on Peace and International Security. “The world is changing rapidly. The processes of transformation have also affected the architecture of international security, which in its current state is incapable of ensuring peace and stability in the long term. The reasons for this are varied. But it is also evident that the disregard for the principle of the indivisibility of security by certain Western countries has provoked the difficult situation in the Eastern European region, including the conflict in Ukraine,” he emphasized.
“Belarus is convinced that the resolution of this conflict lies solely in the realm of political and diplomatic efforts. However, there are countries that continue to escalate conflicts and use them to create even more flashpoints in terms of security,” Sergei Aleinik said. “We are observing accelerated militarization and arms race, the deployment of additional NATO contingents, and the conduct of offensive military exercises, including right at Belarus' borders.”
The chairman of the Standing Commission emphasized that Belarus is a peace-loving state. “We advocate for a reboot of the international security system to strengthen international peace and security," he stated. “In this context, I would like to note that the initiative by Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko to launch a global dialogue on security and cooperation has gained new momentum. Belarus, together with Russia and other friendly nations, is working on the development of the Eurasian Charter for Diversity and a Multipolar World in the 21st Century."
Sergei Aleinik added that this process will gain further traction at the 3rd Minsk International Conference on Security, which will take place next week. "We hope for the constructive participation of all Greater Eurasian states in this initiative. We are convinced that only a multipolar world can ensure equal and indivisible security, respect for international law, and recognition of the diversity of development paths. We, MPs, must work together to achieve this noble goal,” Sergei Aleinik concluded.
