Lukashenko: SCO summits have become major international events over 25 years

Lukashenko: "Over the 25 years since the creation of our association, the meetings of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO have become one of the significant and anticipated events of the international calendar."

"Today, as we mark the 25th anniversary of the organization, special attention is focused on the meeting in hospitable Bishkek. We must outline the strategic contours of the SCO's future and open a new stage in its work. Our common goals are succinctly formulated during the Kyrgyz chairmanship: strengthening stability, expanding cooperation, and ensuring further joint development.

In today's world, stability means the ability to maintain balance despite emerging obstacles. This is only possible with reliable support. Today, the SCO is perceived as one of such supports, arguably the most important in Eurasia.

In conditions of growing global conflicts, it is essential to strengthen and demonstrate through action the SCO's image as a Eurasian center of the emerging multipolar world order, ensuring the organization's unity in each key area of work."
