Secreta told what principles Belarus will defend in the negotiations on the Eurasian Charter

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus Igor Secreta in an interview with the Hungarian Internet portal Moszkvater told what considerations Belarus will proceed from during the negotiation process on the Eurasian Charter. The text of the interview was published on the website of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry.

Igor Secreta emphasized:

- First, the Charter should become the basis for the creation of a new architecture of equal and indivisible security in Eurasia. This means that no country on the continent will strengthen its security at the expense of others, and all disputes will be resolved through dialogue and mutual guarantees, without external dictates.

According to the deputy minister, this principle – indivisibility of security – was lacking in the old Euro-Atlantic system, and it should form the foundation of the new one

- Secondly, the Charter is designed to promote the consolidation of Eurasian states in a variety of areas, from economy and transport to science, technology and humanitarian exchanges. It should become a common strategic umbrella for existing regional structures – the EAEU, the SCO, ASEAN, the CIS and others – so that they work not disparately, but synergistically, based on the concept of “integration of integrations”.

Igor Secreta highlighted another principle – the Charter should connect Eurasia in partnership with other regions of the world

Eurasia is the largest continent on the planet, and what happens here determines the global development agenda. The Charter is therefore not confined to a continent: it offers an open framework for equitable interaction with other regional systems emerging in the world today.

The Charter should contribute to the formation of a more equitable global order, one that is capable of responding to the complexity and diversity of the modern world.

- By creating a system of pancontinental security and sustainable development in Eurasia, we are laying the foundation for a more balanced and peaceful international system as a whole. We are convinced that we have chosen the right direction with the idea of the Eurasian Charter, and we invite all our Eurasian partners to join this promising undertaking.

Work on the harmonization of the Charter will begin at the end of 2026. Within a year, the document should be agreed and submitted to the summit of Eurasian leaders. The Eurasian Charter will help the continent become one of the elements of the new world order
