🎙 Remarks by Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the High-Level Plenary Session of the Fourth Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security (Minsk, November 3, 2026) Key points: • Honest, open discussions on ensuring reliable and lasting Eurasian security – an issue of importance to us all – are more vital today than ever. This is particularly true given the #GlobalMajority’s clear demand for a new model of world order. • Russia supports the emergence of a just system of international relations based on #Multipolarity. It must reflect the cultural and civilisational diversity of the modern world and its peoples, recognising each people’s right to determine their own destiny. • We are consistently working to advance President Vladimir Putin’s initiative to establish a Greater Eurasian Partnership, put forward back at the First #RussiaASEAN Summit, by building ties between integration associations across Eurasia. This process is already underway, involving the #EAEU, #SCO and #ASEAN. • Attempts to ensure the practical implementation of the principle of equal and indivisible security within the Euro-Atlantic – specifically Euro-Atlantic, rather than Eurasian – security framework have failed. The West proved unwilling to cooperate on an honest and equal footing. • The OSCE’s current state is frankly deplorable. This is the result of the same confrontational logic of bloc mentality pursued by Western countries. • Does the OSCE have a future when its history symbolises the failure of the Euro-Atlantic security model? Rooted in the illusions of the late Cold War era, this model requires a fundamental overhaul if it is to remain viable. Yet what we hear from Brussels are calls to build a system of “European security” without Russia and Belarus – or, frankly speaking, directed against our two countries. • Today, we call for indivisible security through the development of a pan-Eurasian, rather than Euro-Atlantic, architecture, open to all countries and associations on the continent and reflecting the realities of a #MultipolarWorld. • Commitment to the principles of indivisible security, openness and equality means that countries harbour no hostile intentions towards one another or towards third countries. This could involve developing a system of mutual and cross-cutting security guarantees at both bilateral and multilateral levels. • We believe that the framework document – the Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century – should help consolidate a continent-wide consensus on the foundations of such cooperation.
