- In his speech at the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Bishkek, President Alexander Lukashenko clearly outlined the priority of emergency protection in the formation of a new security architecture in Eurasia and proposed a concrete practical step - holding a meeting of the heads of departments of the SCO member states on the prevention and elimination of emergency situations in Minsk during the World Fire and Rescue Sport Championship. This forum will allow to exchange experience in a wide format and develop solutions aimed at reducing disaster risk, protecting the population, territories, monitoring and forecasting disasters in the SCO space.

- This is the elimination of emergency situations in the Arctic space, where at low temperatures, equipment, equipment, capabilities of fighters are tested. Another important area is the training of water and rescue units in deep water bodies, including using robotic systems. We also intend to develop competencies in the field of explosion engineering, in particular mine clearance.

Minister of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergencies and Disaster Relief Alexander Kurenkov noted:

We try to build interaction not only at the level of managers, but also between specialists. To do this, we hold joint seminars and trainings, participate in professional competitions. A separate direction is the training of young specialists. This year, it is planned to exchange cadets between educational organizations of the EMERCOM of Russia and the University of Civil Protection of the EMERCOM of Belarus. I am confident that cooperation between our countries will continue to bring practical results.
