Zhao Huirong: Belarus’ peace initiatives align with Eurasian aspirations for stability

MINSK, 28 October (BelTA) – Belarus’ peace initiatives align with the aspiration of the Eurasian peoples for peace and stability, Deputy Director of the China-Belarus Development Analysis Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Zhao Huirong said during the 3rd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security in Minsk on 28 October, BelTA has learned.

“This is my third visit to the Eurasian security forum, and I believe it is extremely important as it focuses on ways to promote security in Eurasia,” Zhao Huirong said. “Currently, Eurasia is facing serious security challenges. In particular, geopolitical confrontation is intensifying, local conflicts show no prospects of ending, and the arms race is escalating.”

“In addition, Eurasian countries are facing non-traditional security threats, including terrorism, extremism and separatism. The problems of cybersecurity, biosecurity, space security, and climate change are also pressing. The development of science and technology, artificial intelligence and other achievements open up new channels and forms for the spread of these non-traditional security threats,” the Chinese representative noted.

She emphasized that, apart from this, countries are facing serious challenges on the path to sustainable development.
