Lukashenko: CIS states shouldn’t be dragged into risky adventures

DUSHANBE, 10 October (BelTA) – The CIS countries should not be involved in dangerous adventures that threaten the region and humanity as a whole, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a narrow-format meeting of the CIS Heads of State Council on 10 October, BelTA has learned.

“The absolute priority is to ensure security and preserve peace in the CIS. We must prevent the CIS states from being drawn into dangerous adventures that threaten both our region and humanity as a whole,” the head of state emphasized.

Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed that the CIS sectoral councils operating in the field of security respond promptly to emerging challenges and threats. “On their initiative, today we will adopt very important decisions and documents, including a cooperation program to counter terrorism and extremism for 2026-2028, a program to strengthen border security along the external frontiers for 2026-2030, and a concept of military cooperation until 2030,” he added.

“We are looking forward to the active participation of your delegates in the upcoming third Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security scheduled for the end of October,” the president said.
