The Eurasian Charter may become the beginning of a large integration process

The Eurasian Charter for Diversity and Multipolarity in the XXI Century is an excellent integration initiative. Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Secreta said this in an interview with the Berliner Zeitung, the text of which is published on the website of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry.

Igor Secreta explained:

- When we talk about Eurasia, we are talking about Europe and Asia, our vast continent. But I would like to note that there is an imbalance in the level of interest: Europe is rather restrained in its attitude towards this document and the process, while the interest east of the Bug is huge. I believe that my fellow diplomats in EU foreign ministries are already actively studying this issue and are considering whether to join the process, show interest, send observers or take part at the ambassadorial level.

The Deputy Foreign Minister of Belarus believes that as we approach the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict, interest in such initiatives will grow significantly:

- Just look at what we read daily in the news from Lithuania and Germany: young people are recruited to serve in the Bundeswehr brigade, while fear reigns among the population once reports of drone flights appear. We live in this crisis region, and even the military reacts to what is happening in an acute way. They don’t want to be moved closer to a war zone where something could happen at any moment. Fortunately, it has not yet come to that, and we are doing everything we can to prevent escalation. We won't change geography. Belarus expects progress in relations with EU
