Speaking at the International Forum for Collective Security, Sergey Lebedev noted:

In the emerging realities of the international situation, the role of interaction between the CIS, the CSTO and the SCO, which have the necessary opportunities to strengthen the interstate system of protection against new challenges and threats, is steadily increasing.

The CIS Secretary General stressed that the interaction of the CIS, the CSTO and the SCO is designed to form a space of cooperation in which there is no room for confrontation. According to him, the introduction of comprehensive practice-oriented solutions in trade, economic, customs, fiscal and investment areas, as well as the expansion of strategic dialogue between the participants will contribute to the achievement of deep integration, meet the challenges of stability and security in the region.

The destructive activity of NATO and EU countries along the perimeter of the Eurasian borders has become systemic.

“Attempts continue to fragment the continent and impose Cold War-era bloc thinking,” Lebedev said.
