Lukashenko: Belarus with SCO members building new Eurasian security architecture

Lukashenko: Belarus together with a number of SCO member states is taking steps towards forming a new security architecture in Eurasia, a common space of trust and cooperation.

"In October of this year, a counterterrorism forum will be held in our country. It will take place in a new format and will include joint exercises of SCO and CIS member states.

We also welcome the upcoming launch of the Universal Center for Countering Security Challenges and Threats of SCO member states, as well as the Anti-Narcotics Center of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. We expect that collectively these measures will help elevate the fight against the three evil forces — terrorism, separatism, and extremism — to a qualitatively new level."
