Full speech by Alexander Lukashenko at SCO+ expanded meeting in Bishkek

Political disagreements block the UN's real involvement in resolving unprovoked armed conflicts, including those concerning one of the SCO countries — Iran.

Without our members, it is impossible to solve any global problem.

People expect concrete actions from us toward multipolarity. Time is running out. If we lose time, we may turn into the same UN in the form it currently exists.

We must restore the UN's status as a platform for resolving the most complex global problems, not as a tool in the hands of the West to pressure and coerce sovereign and independent states. For some reason, we are afraid to speak about this as well.
