Lukashenko: CSTO is now a respected security body

MOSCOW, 15 May (BelTA) – The Collective Security Treaty Organization has matured as a respected security body, said President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at the session of the CSTO Collective Security Council in Moscow on 15 May.

The Belarusian head of state pointed out Belarus has always been in favor of enhancing supranational institutions that are meant to ensure security and stability for all countries in equal measure.

“We are interested in a productive dialogue with international organizations such as the UN, the OSCE, and NATO, and in peaceful resolution of conflict situations,” said the Belarusian leader.

Belarus also adheres to practical cooperation with all countries in fighting illegal drugs trade, illegal migration and cybercrimes.

“But we are against vain chatter!” stressed Alexander Lukashenko. “Our goal is cooperation for the sake of concrete and tangible results,” concluded the President of Belarus.
